| 1 | Christ is the one reality of all, |
| | Of Godhead and of man and all things else; |
| | No man without Him ever findeth God, |
| | Without Him man and everything is false. |
| 2 | All types and figures of the ancient time, |
| | All things we ever need, both great and small, |
| | Only are shadows of the Christ of God, |
| | Showing that He must be our all in all. |
| 3 | All things are vanity of vanities, |
| | Christ, the reality all things to fill; |
| | Though everything we may enjoy and own, |
| | If we’re devoid of Christ we’re empty still. |
| 4 | Christ is our real God, our real Lord, |
| | Christ is our real life, our real light; |
| | Christ is our real food, our real drink, |
| | Our real clothing, and our real might. |
| 5 | Christ also is the one reality |
| | Of all our doctrine and theology; |
| | And all our scriptural knowledge without Him |
| | Is just in letter and is vanity. |
| 6 | Christ, the reality of time and space, |
| | Christ, the reality of every stage; |
| | Christ is the one reality of all |
| | Thru all eternity from age to age. |
