5. Jesus, The All-Inclusive Land – Hymn 1164 6 Lord, how we bless Thee for this land,
The all-inclusive Christ!
1 Jesus, the all-inclusive land, We’ve eaten Him, we’re filled with Him,
Is everything to me: O how He has sufficed!
A Christ of brooks, of depths and streams, Teach us to labor constantly
And fountains bubbling free. Upon this vast reality;
Springing from valleys and from hills, This is our joy, this our employ—
Flowing till every part He fills, Christ our land!
He waters us—how glorious—
By His life!
6. A Little Bird I Am – Hymn 724 Chorus
This river is huge, this river is deep,
1 A little bird I am, This river is wide,
Shut from the fields of air, It’s flowing out from the smitten rock,
And in my cage I sit and sing The Savior’s side;
To Him who placed me there; This river is clear, this river is pure,
Well pleased a prisoner to be, This river is bright,
Because, my God, it pleaseth Thee. The Triune God, the glorified Christ,
Resurrection life.
2 Nought have I else to do,
I sing the whole day long; 2 Uniquely one, this flowing grace,
And He whom most I love to please The living God divine
Doth listen to my song; From Eden flows to every place,
He caught and bound my wandering wing; And reaches all mankind;
But still He bends to hear me sing. By drinking of the stream of life,
The saints become His bride,
3 Thou hast an ear to hear His counterpart, increase of Christ,
A heart to love and bless; The issue from His side.
And though my notes were e’er so rude,
Thou wouldst not hear the less; 3 This river of God is flowing free,
Because Thou knowest as they fall, A priceless living spring,
That love, sweet love, inspires them all. Wherever it flows conveys the tree,
Brings life to everything;
4 My cage confines me round; This turbulent river is full and great,
Abroad I cannot fly; And man regenerates;
But though my wing is closely bound, This hydropower permeates,
My heart’s at liberty; Transforms and saturates.
For prison walls cannot control
The flight, the freedom of the soul. 4 These rapids of life will not relent
But swiftly reach the end,
5 O it is good to soar The Triune God mingling with men,
These bolts and bars above! The New Jerusalem;
To Him whose purpose I adore, The sweetness of this river of life,
Whose providence I love; The all-inclusive Christ,
And in Thy mighty will to find Will consummate the sanctified
The joy, the freedom of the mind. Unto eternal life.
1 The Father God, the deepest spring, 1 The living vine, a reality
The rich eternal source, Of God and man, one organically
Emerges as the living spring, Mutual abode, organism sweet.
In Jesus Christ, the course; Expression full, mingling complete.
The Spirit is the flowing spring,
A springing up in us;
The river of life, the triune spring,
Profoundly glorious.
2 When we abide, there’s a flow within. 5 I need Thee every hour,
As branches we—are expressing Him. Most Holy One;
Our God needs us, we depend on Him. Oh, make me Thine indeed,
To bear much fruit, to bring others in. Thou blessed Son.
3 Father, Cultivator—Husbandman, 10. The Spirit and the Bride say “Come”
The source is He.
Soil, sunshine and the air— I, Jesus, have sent My angel
Nutrients complete. To testify to you
Son, the living vine is— These things for the churches.
The embodiment of God. I am the Root and the Offspring
And the Spirit makes Him real— Of David, the bright morning star.
As the life juice sweet!
And the Spirit and the bride say "Come!",
(Stanza 3 may be used as a counter melody with And let him who will say “Come!”.
Stanzas 1 and 2) And let him who is thirsty come;
Let him who wills take the water of life freely.
9. I Need Thee Every Hour – Hymn 371
I, Jesus, have sent My angel
1 I need Thee every hour, To testify to you
Most gracious Lord; These things for the churches.
No tender voice like Thine I am the Root and the Offspring
Can peace afford. Of David, the bright morning star.
