This, this is the true God supreme

Verse 1
This, this is the true God supreme,
Jesus in whom by faith we dwell;
This is eternal life; in him
The beatific joy we feel:
With him into our hearts is given
Th’ essential happiness of heaven.

Verse 2
Soon as in Christ we truly are,
We see the Father in the Son,
His pure unsinning nature share;
And know that God and Christ are One,
’Till faith’s perfection we receive,
And fill’d with God for ever live.
