Verse 1
The babes in Christ should nothing know
But Jesus crucified:
Let us, ’till dead to all below,
In those dear wounds abide.

Verse 2
Then let us follow on, to prove
His resurrection’s power,
Wait to be perfected in love,
To rise, and fall no more!

Verse 3
Jesu, our life, in us appear,
Who daily die thy death,
Reveal thyself the Finisher,
Thy quickning Spirit breathe.

Verse 4
Unfold the hidden mystery,
The second gift impart,
Reveal thy glorious self in me,
In every waiting heart.

Verse 5
We shall attain what we pursue,
Unless our faith is vain;
If thou art good, if thou art true,
We shall the prize attain;

Verse 6
Partake on earth the heavenly bliss,
And pure and holy be,
And perfect as thy Father is,
And one with God in thee.
