Hymn 611  

SUBJECT: EXPERIENCE OF GOD—BY EXERCISING THE SPIRIT
METER: 8.8.8.8.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: R. H. Earnshaw

1God’s glorious substance Spirit is,
 His essence, holy and divine;
 To contact God and Him enjoy,
 His Spirit I must touch with mine.
2The spirit is the innermost,
 The part of man most deep and real;
 If he would contact God in life,
 ’Tis with the spirit he must deal.
3The worship which the Father seeks
 Is in the spirit’s strength alone;
 His Spirit into man’s would come,
 That His and man’s may thus be one.
4When Spirit unto spirit calls
 The two commingle and are one;
 Man’s spirit is the Spirit’s home,
 The Spirit doth man’s life become.
5Man’s spirit must God’s Spirit touch
 If in God’s fulness he would live;
 ’Tis only with the spirit thus
 That he to God may worship give.
6In ministry and fellowship
 Man to the spirit we must bring;
 All ministry should turn to prayer,
 Spirit to spirit answering.
7In spirit we must pray and serve,
 In spirit touch the life divine,
 In spirit grow, in spirit build,
 That Christ thru us may fully shine.
8Lord, to the spirit I would turn
 And learn to truly contact Thee;
 Thy Spirit thus will flow with mine
 And overflow eternally.
