|  1 | Christ is the testimony true | 
|   | Of God in essence and in deed; | 
|   | Gods glory He has fully shown, | 
|   | And we in Him Gods nature read. | 
|  2 | His testimony is more full | 
|   | Than was the witness of the law, | 
|   | Which only God in letter showed, | 
|   | And not in endless living powr. | 
|  3 | The fulness of the Godhead dwells | 
|   | In Him, His very element; | 
|   | Gods full embodiment is He- | 
|   | A vessel, God the resident. | 
|  4 | The Father God He manifests; | 
|   | Gods glorious features He displays; | 
|   | In Him consummately are seen | 
|   | The Fathers heart and all His ways. | 
|  5 | Christ as the Spirit now has come | 
|   | That He our portion be foreer; | 
|   | In spirit we partake of Him | 
|   | And all Gods being fully share. |
