As members of the Body (Hymn 867)

Verse 1: As members of the Body Christ we would manifest, Each learning how to function His fulness to express; We would not be spectators But each as members move, None bringing death or damage But each our profit prove. Verse 2: As in a team we'd never Act independently, But in coordination, Each would dependent be; Not acting by our choosing But following the flow, Distraction never bringing, The Spirit's way we'd know. Verse 3: On Christ we here would focus, No other center make; With Christ in sweet communion His riches to partake. He is our Head and content, His Body we express; Whate'er we do while meeting Himself must manifest. Verse 4: Built up in love together, Not one would criticize; To perfect one another, We all would exercise. Each one from self delivered, The natural life forsakes; In grace each trained in spirit The Body-life partakes.
