819 As the body is the fulness 1. As the body is the fulness To express our life, So to Christ the Church, His Body, Doth express His life. 2. E'en as Eve is part of Adam Taken out of him, So the Church is Christ's own increase With Himself within. 3. As from out the buried kernel Many grain are formed, As the grains together blended To a loaf are formed; 4. So the Church, of many Christians, Christ doth multiply, Him expressing as one Body, God to glorify. 5. As the branches of the grapevine Are its outward spread, With it one, abiding, bearing Clusters in its stead; 6. So the Church's many members Christ's enlargement are, One with Him in life and living, Speading Him afar. 7. Fulness, increase, duplication, His expression full, Growth and spread, continuation, Surplus plentiful, 8. Is the Church to Christ, and thereby God in Christ may be Glorified thru His redeemed ones To eternity. 9. Thus the Church and Christ together, God's great mystery, Is the mingling of the Godhead With humanity.
