| 1 | Freed from self and Adam’s nature, |
| | | Lord, I would be built by Thee |
| | With the saints into Thy temple, |
| | | Where Thy glory we shall see. |
| | From peculiar traits deliver, |
| | | From my independent ways, |
| | That a dwelling place for Thee, Lord, |
| | | We will be thru all our days. |
| 2 | By Thy life and by its flowing |
| | | I can grow and be transformed, |
| | With the saints coordinated, |
| | | Builded up, to Thee conformed; |
| | Keep the order in the Body, |
| | | There to function in Thy will, |
| | Ever serving, helping others, |
| | | All Thy purpose to fulfill. |
| 3 | In my knowledge and experience |
| | | I would not exalted be, |
| | But submitting and accepting |
| | | Let the Body balance me; |
| | Holding fast the Head, and growing |
| | | With His increase, in His way, |
| | By the joints and bands supplying, |
| | | Knit together day by day. |
| 4 | By Thy Spirit daily strengthened |
| | | In the inner man with might, |
| | I would know Thy love surpassing, |
| | | Know Thy breadth and length and height; |
| | Ever of Thy riches taking, |
| | | Unto all Thy fulness filled, |
| | Ever growing into manhood, |
| | | That Thy Body Thou may build. |
| 5 | In God’s house and in Thy Body |
| | | Builded up I long to be, |
| | That within this corporate vessel |
| | | All shall then Thy glory see; |
| | That Thy Bride, the glorious city, |
| | | May appear upon the earth, |
| | As a lampstand brightly beaming |
| | | To express to all Thy worth. |
