[O that the pure engrafted word]

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. —iii. 16.

O that the pure engrafted word
In us abundantly might dwell,
And mix'd with faith in Christ our Lord
The riches of His grace reveal,
Wealth which supports the thrones above,
And treasures of eternal love.
Jesus, assist us to believe,
And then the word Thy wealth imparts:
The word which Thou art pleased to give,
Is life and spirit in our hearts;
And fills with all the Deity,
Inspoken, and inspired by Thee.
