 1 

God has called us for His purpose,

His economy so glorious,

For which He was fully processed;

Consummated now is He!

As the Spirit, He indwells us;

As our God allotted portion,

Working out His full salvation,

Making us the same as He is.

 

Oh, may a clear, controlling vision of

The Lord's economy direct my heart,

And burn in me until my spirit's wholly set afire!

With spirit strong and active we'll press on

To consummate God's goal —

New Jerusalem, Hallelujah!

 
 2 

Jesus lived the God-man pattern,

Set the way for us to follow,

He denied His natural man and

Was obedient unto death.

Once He was the only God-man;

Now we are His duplication.

As the many grains we're blended

As His corporate reproduction.

 

Oh, may a clear, controlling vision of

The Lord's economy direct my heart,

And burn in me until my spirit's wholly set afire!

With spirit strong and active we'll press on

To consummate God's goal —

New Jerusalem, Hallelujah!

 
 3 

Living out His resurrection,

Dying to the flesh and soul-life,

Living by the mingled spirit,

Natural man we will deny.

Now we're living in the Body,

Every day we're overcoming,

Striving for the peak of Zion,

Watching for our Lord's appearing.

 

Oh, may a clear, controlling vision of

The Lord's economy direct my heart,

And burn in me until my spirit's wholly set afire!

With spirit strong and active we'll press on

To consummate God's goal —

New Jerusalem, Hallelujah!

 
 4 

God and man will have one living,

Always in the mingled spirit;

We two are incorporated;

One organic entity!

This the vision of the ages

Will control our daily living

That the Lord may have His Body

Shining as the holy city.

 

Oh, may a clear, controlling vision of

The Lord's economy direct my heart,

And burn in me until my spirit's wholly set afire!

With spirit strong and active we'll press on

To consummate God's goal —

New Jerusalem, Hallelujah!
