Riches of Christ we should enjoy
And then His fulness we will be;
Partaking of His very self,
His testimony men will see.

Riches of Christ are what He is
To us who are His members true;
His fulness is what we become
As body doth to man accrue.

Riches of Christ are typified
By Canaan’s produce rich and sweet,
With which the temple great was built,
The Church’s greatest type replete.

As Eve to Adam fulness was,
So is the Church to Christ her Head;
As Eve from Adam’s being came,
The Church by Christ’s own life is bred.

Christ’s riches are Himself within,
His fulness is the Church without,
As His expression, full of Him;
The Church with Christ is built throughout.

When singing a hymn like this, we are speaking forth a building word in song. This word ministers life to believers!
Hearers get imparted with the Grace of God which enables them to hold Christ as the Head of the Body for our enjoyment as well as the consummating of The New Jerusalem!!!

Christ’riches are Himself which are dispensed into the church and then becoming the fullness-expression of God. Praise the Lord, we, your Body, are your fullness within and your expression without!

All these riches have already been given to us in Christ. We learn of them in the Word. We are directed to be busy about the Father's work of the kingdom. We take of His riches by faith as we have need, boldly going to the throne of grace and asking for help. Look for them in the Word. They are already yours in Christ.
