1 Lord, to know Thee as our Person,
Or with soulish thoughts obsessed,
Lord, Thou art our Person,
In our inmost being,
May we constantly experience
This reality.
2 All the world is under darkness,
Does the soulish life control.
Such we were till God, through mercy,
Lord, Thou art our Person,
In our inmost being,
May we constantly experience
This reality.
3 Once we walked a soulish person,
Craved God's fullness to express;
Instantly the whole was changed.
Lord, Thou art our Person,
In our inmost being,
May we constantly experience
This reality.
4 Now our spirit is our person —
Christ Himself in us expressing
Not the soul-life's vain delusion,
But the spirit strengthened is;
Lord, Thou art our Person,
In our inmost being,
May we constantly experience
This reality.
