Hymn 971
| | SUBJECT: ULTIMATE MANIFESTATION—GOD’S ETERNAL PURPOSE |
| METER: 6.5.6.5.D. |
| AUTHOR: Witness Lee |
| COMPOSER: M. Koch, from Geistliche Lieder |
| 1 | | God’s eternal purpose |
| | | | Is to join with man, |
| | | Causing man, His vessel, |
| | | | To be born again, |
| | | His own life imparting, |
| | | | Filling to the brim; |
| | | Man may thus express Him, |
| | | | And be one with Him. |
| 2 | | God in His own image |
| | | | Hath created man, |
| | | That he may be able |
| | | | To fulfill His plan; |
| | | That he may receive Him |
| | | | As the tree of life |
| | | To become His fulness |
| | | | As to man the wife. |
| 3 | | In His life’s rich flowing |
| | | | Man will be transformed |
| | | Into precious substance |
| | | | And to Him conformed. |
| | | Thus will man be builded |
| | | | As His counterpart, |
| | | Thus to be His dwelling, |
| | | | Satisfy His heart. |
| 4 | | ’Tis the holy city, |
| | | | New Jerusalem; |
| | | With His saints God mingles, |
| | | | Makes His home with them. |
| | | He becomes their content, |
| | | | His expression they; |
| | | They shall share His glory, |
| | | | One with Him for aye. |
| 5 | | He’s the very center, |
| | | | Ruling on the throne; |
| | | By His life the power, |
| | | | Saints are kept in one. |
| | | By His light of glory, |
| | | | They are kept in light, |
| | | Harmony enjoying |
| | | | In divine delight. |
| 6 | | He’s their living water, |
| | | | And their food supply; |
| | | All their thirst and hunger |
| | | | He doth satisfy. |
| | | He’s for them the temple, |
| | | | In Himself they live, |
| | | In His constant presence |
| | | | Worship ever give. |
