Christ is the mystery of God;
God is invisible, unshown,
His image man hath never seen,
But Christ the Son
hath made Him known.
Christ is the very Word of God,
He is God’s explanation true;
God’s full embodiment is He
And God’s own image brings to view.
Image of God invisible,
Effulgence of God’s glory fair;
God’s fulness ever dwells in Him,
God’s testimony He doth bear.
The Church the myst’ry is of Christ,
For He is now to man unshown;
No man on earth may see Him now,
But thru the Church
He is made known.
The Church is Christ’s
expression full,
In her Christ dwelleth bodily;
She is His duplication true,
And man in her Himself may see.
The Church the image has of Christ,
She is His increase and His spread;
Christ’s very self is found in her
The Body, she, to Christ the Head.
Thus, in the Son the Father is,
And now the Spirit is the Son;
The Spirit of the triune God
Is in the Church and with her one.
