| 1 | Thou art the Son beloved, |
| | | The image of our God; |
| | Thou art the saints’ dear portion, |
| | | Imparted thru Thy blood. |
| | Among all God’s creation |
| | | Thou art the firstborn One; |
| | By Thee all was created, |
| | | All for Thyself to own. |
| 2 | Thou art before all creatures, |
| | | In Thee all things consist; |
| | Of all Thou art the center, |
| | | By Thee all things subsist. |
| | Thou art the sole beginning, |
| | | The Firstborn from the dead; |
| | And for the Church, Thy Body, |
| | | Thou art the glorious Head. |
| 3 | Because it pleased the Father, |
| | | All fulness dwells in Thee, |
| | That Thou might have the first place |
| | | In all we ever see. |
| | All things Thou reconciledst |
| | | To God by Thy shed blood, |
| | To thus present us holy |
| | | And blameless unto God. |
| 4 | In Thee God’s fulness dwelleth, |
| | | Thou art God’s mystery; |
| | The treasures of all wisdom |
| | | And knowledge are in Thee. |
| | Thou art the hope of glory, |
| | | In us Thou dost abide; |
| | In Thee we are perfected |
| | | And God is satisfied. |
| 5 | All things are but a shadow |
| | | Which unto us reveal |
| | Thyself, in whom we’re rooted, |
| | | The only One that’s real. |
| | Enjoying all Thy riches, |
| | | Thy fulness we will be; |
| | We’ll hold Thee, as Thy Body, |
| | | And grow with God in Thee. |
| 6 | With Thee in God we’re hidden, |
| | | Thou art in us our life; |
| | Thy peace in us presiding, |
| | | We rest from all our strife. |
| | In the new man, Thy Body, |
| | | Thou art the all in all; |
| | Our all-inclusive Savior, |
| | | Thyself we’ll ever call. |
