Riches of Christ we should enjoy
|
|
| 1. | Riches of Christ we should enjoy |
| | And then His fulness we will be; |
| | Partaking of His very self, |
| | His testimony men will see. |
| 2. | Riches of Christ are what He is |
| | To us who are His members true; |
| | His fulness is what we become |
| | As body doth to man accrue. |
| 3. | Riches of Christ are typified |
| | By Canaan's produce rich and sweet, |
| | With which the temple great was built, |
| | The Church's greatest type replete. |
| 4. | As Eve to Adam fulness was, |
| | So is the Church to Christ her Head; |
| | As Eve from Adam's being came, |
| | The Church by Christ's own life is |
| | bred. |
| 5. | Christ's riches are Himself within, |
| | His fulness is the Church without, |
| | As His expression, full of Him; |
| | The Church with Christ is built |
| | throughout. |
