 1 

In this age we're being turned

To the Spirit to be burned;

Now in spirit we can see

Christ, the church, our unity!

 
 2 

In the spirit we can taste

All the riches of Thy grace;

All Thy fullness, blessed Lord

Is for those in one accord!

 
 3 

In the spirit, on the ground —

Here is where Thy life is found.

Dwelling thus in unity,

We enjoy reality!

 
 4 

Out of death and into life,

Done with all divisive strife!

Free indeed to love but Thee,

Growing to maturity!

 
 5 

"Amen, Jesus," is our prayer

To the purging work, whate'er;

Now Thy church must desperate be

More the growth in life to see.

 
 6 

O Lord, make Thy home our heart,

Our true inner man Thou art;

God and man are mingled thus —

Christ, the church, all glorious!
