 1 

God the Almighty, Uncreated Life,

List to my cry as I lie in the dust,

Fathomless glory all about Thee is;

Life Giver, my Creator, know Thee I must.

 
 2 

Oh, by the Cross, the passion of Thy Christ,

Oh, by the death of my Lord crucified,

From pow'r of darkness translate me today

Into the kingdom of Thy light to abide.

 
 3 

Fill from the center with Thine utmost filling,

Fill to circumf'rence, fill right to the brim;

Blaze forth, the light, the glory of Thy being

About and 'round me to the uttermost rim.

 
 4 

Life Uncreated, Thou most holy God,

Life-giving Spirit, oh, create in me

Something that speaks of Thee and of Thy glory,

Something compelling that will draw to Thee.

 
 5 

Father, I thank Thee that my quest is ended.

I reign in life with Christ upon the throne,

How satisfied to triumph now in Him,

The Cross the touchstone that makes me His own.
