 1 

In all Thy work, O Lord, Thou didst

At Calv'ry's cross once come to rest;

Yet Thou art working still today,

But in another form expressed.

 
 2 

Thy saving pow'r Thou still dost show;

Thou still dost speak, enlighten, guide;

Thou and the Spirit in one stream

Sweep many in Thy living tide.

 
 3 

Through Him Thy power's not withheld;

Through Him Thy working does not cease;

Thou still dost comfort and command,

Encourage, strengthen, and release.

 
 4 

Since Thou art with the Spirit one

His coming means that Thou hast come,

And His indwelling is Thine own,

Since Thou the Spirit hast become.

 
 5 

He executes within my heart

All Thy desires and Thy demands,

As for the Father here on earth

Thou hast performed all His commands.

 
 6 

By knowing Him we know Thyself;

Obeying Him we Thee obey;

Allowing Him ourselves to fill,

We're filled with Thee, O wondrous way!

 
 7 

Thou art not far away in heav'n,

Leaving us here alone, apart;

But Thou art still on earth; how grand!

Thou livest right within my heart.
