Christ is the testimony true
Verse 1
Christ is the testimony true Of God in essence and in deed; God's glory He has fully shown, And we in Him God's nature read.
Verse 2
His testimony is more full Than was the witness of the law, Which only God in letter showed, And not in endless living pow'r.
Verse 3
The fulness of the Godhead dwells In Him, His very element; God's full embodiment is He- A vessel, God the resident.
Verse 4
The Father God He manifests; God's glorious features He displays; In Him consummately are seen The Father's heart and all His ways.
Verse 5
Christ as the Spirit now has come That He our portion be fore'er; In spirit we partake of Him And all God's being fully share.
