1  God the Almighty, Uncreated Life,

    List to my cry as I lie in the dust,

    Fathomless glory all about Thee is;

    Life Giver, my Creator, know Thee I must.

 2  Oh, by the Cross, the passion of Thy Christ,

    Oh, by the death of my Lord crucified,

    From pow'r of darkness translate me today

    Into the kingdom of Thy light to abide.

 3  Fill from the center with Thine utmost filling,

    Fill to circumf'rence, fill right to the brim;

    Blaze forth, the light, the glory of Thy being

    About and 'round me to the uttermost rim.

 4  Life Uncreated, Thou most holy God,

    Life-giving Spirit, oh, create in me

    Something that speaks of Thee and of Thy glory,

    Something compelling that will draw to Thee.

 5  Father, I thank Thee that my quest is ended.

    I reign in life with Christ upon the throne,

    How satisfied to triumph now in Him,

    The Cross the touchstone that makes me His own.
