1  God's glorious substance Spirit is,

    His essence, holy and divine;

    To contact God and Him enjoy,

    His Spirit I must touch with mine.

 2  The spirit is the innermost,

    The part of man most deep and real;

    If he would contact God in life,

    'Tis with the spirit he must deal.

 3  The worship which the Father seeks

    Is in the spirit's strength alone;

    His Spirit into man's would come,

    That His and man's may thus be one.

 4  When Spirit unto spirit calls

    The two commingle and are one;

    Man's spirit is the Spirit's home,

    The Spirit doth man's life become.

 5  Man's spirit must God's Spirit touch

    If in God's fulness he would live;

    'Tis only with the spirit thus

    That he to God may worship give.

 6  In ministry and fellowship

    Man to the spirit we must bring;

    All ministry should turn to prayer,

    Spirit to spirit answering.

 7  In spirit we must pray and serve,

    In spirit touch the life divine,

    In spirit grow, in spirit build,

    That Christ thru us may fully shine.

 8  Lord, to the spirit I would turn

    And learn to truly contact Thee;

    Thy Spirit thus will flow with mine

    And overflow eternally.
