Lyrics

Lord Je­sus, are we one with Thee?
O height, O depth of love!
Thou one with us on Cal­va­ry,
We one with Thee above.

Such was Thy grace, that for our sake
Thou didst from Heav­en come down,
With us of flesh and blood par­take,
In all our mi­se­ry, one.

Our sins, our guilt, in love div­ine,
Confessed and borne by Thee;
The gall, the curse, the wrath, were Thine,
To set Thy mem­bers free.

Ascended now, in glo­ry bright,
Still one with us Thou art;
Nor life, nor death, nor depth, nor height,
Thy saints and Thee can part.

O teach us, Lord, to know and own
This won­drous mys­te­ry,
That Thou with us art tru­ly one,
And we are one with Thee.

Soon, soon shall come that glo­ri­ous day,
When, seat­ed on Thy throne,
Thou shalt to won­der­ing worlds dis­play
That Thou with us art one.
