Living creatures, source divine,
Do the glorious Christ attest;
Knit, coordinated, shine;
They God’s purpose manifest.
As the Spirit’s lead they heed,
God’s own move does now proceed.
 
As the living creatures move,
God’s great wheel does turn with might;
In this high and awesome move,
They shine forth Christ’s image bright,
Thus accomplishing God’s plan in light.

Now the burning holy fire
All ungodliness consumes;
Fire becomes the holy light,
All directions bright illumes.
All God’s move is in this light;
All God’s move is in their sight.

Walking in obedience,
’Neath a bright and crystal sky,
Conscience pure, with no offense,
One voice raised, we testify.
Silent list’ning, ringing shout—
Thus God’s move is carried out.
4
Here alone’s God’s dwelling place;
Here alone His throne can be;
Here His glory all does grace,
With His full authority.
’Round the Man enthroned is light
In the Holy City bright.
