FULLNESS OF CHRIST.

What the heart is at the birth, What the soul is to the earth, What the gem is to the mine, What the grape is to the vine, What the bloom is to the tree, That is Jesus Christ to me.
What the string is to the lute, What the breath is to the flute, What the spring is to the watch, What the nerve is to the touch, What the breeze is to the sea, That is Jesus Christ to me.
What the estate is to the heir, What the Autumn's to the year, What the seed is to the farm, What the sunbeam's to the corn, What the flower is to the bee, That is Jesus Christ to me.
What the light is to the eye, What the sun is to the sky, What the sea is to the river, What the hand is to the giver, What a friend is to the plea, That is Jesus Christ to me.
What culture is unto the waste, What honey is unto the taste, What fragrance is unto the smell, Or springs of water to a well, What beauty is in all I see, All this and more is Christ to me.
