Thou art the Word and Spirit, Lord

1
Thou art the Word and Spirit, Lord;
Now in one spirit worship we;
’Tis by the Word we understand,
And in the Spirit contact Thee.
2
Since Thou with me hast joined in one,
Thou art my all, O Lord, thereby;
And as the Spirit and the Word
Thou cam’st to me as my supply.
3
If Thou art Lord, yet not the Word,
How couldest Thou be known to me?
If Thou art God yet Spirit not,
How could I ever contact Thee?
4
The Word reveals Thyself to me
And knowledge of Thyself imparts;
The Spirit is Thy substance true
Whereby I touch Thee as Thou art.
5
Thou art my life, my light, my way,
My food, my strength and guaranty;
By Word made known, as Spirit these
Become experience to me.
6
Thy Word in Scripture is expressed,
Thy Spirit, the Indwelling One;
Thy Word is spirit and is life
When to my spirit it doth come.
7
If I Thy Word would understand,
I must Thy Holy Spirit touch;
Not only grasp it with my mind,
But with my spirit, praying much.
8
Thy precious Word my heart doth love,
My spirit fellowships with Thine;
My heart rejoices in Thy Word,
My spirit praises sings in Thine.
