1  Remove the veils, Lord, from my heart;

    True revelation grant to me;

    A vision clear, O Lord, impart

          Of Thy recovery.

 2  By revelation I perceive

    The power that raised Christ from the dead;

    When I by faith this power receive,

          I to the church am led.

 3  Thy mighty power has set me free

    From all the world's distracting things;

    An entrance to the local church

          This mighty power brings.

 4  Once in the local church, I need

    To take Thee as my person, Lord;

    My outward man each day recede,

          My heart is for the Lord.

 5  I take Thee as my person, Lord;

    I have been crucified with Thee.

    My inner man has been restored;

          I'm now indwelt by Thee.

 6  When all Thy members self forsake,

    Thy glorious Body, Lord, is known;

    When of Thy Person we partake,

          The one new man is shown.

 7  The church life is the one new man

    In every local church expressed;

    Thy Body is a corporate man,

          One Person manifest.
