 1 

How all-inclusive, Lord, Thou art;

Of God we are in Thee —

The portion God prepared for us,

Our all in all to be.

 
 2 

Thou art to us God's wisdom true,

We all are saved through Thee;

Thou art God's only way to save,

Thou art our only plea.

 
 3 

Thou art to us our righteousness,

All God requires to meet;

In Thee we all are justified,

In Thee we are complete.

 
 4 

Thou art to us our holiness

That we may be transformed;

In Thee we all are sanctified,

To Thee we'll be conformed.

 
 5 

Thou art to us redemption too,

That we Thy likeness bear;

Transfigured will our bodies be

Thy liberty to share.

 
 6 

Dear Lord, while we remember Thee,

Enjoying all Thou art,

We thus would hasten Thy return

And ne'er from Thee depart.

 
 7 

How sweet to have this foretaste here,

A taste so wonderful,

Yet still we fain would be with Thee,

And share Thyself in full.
