Exercise the spirit (Meetings)

Exercise the spirit!
Human thought reject;
Meet with one another,
Body life respect.

Exercise the spirit!
All the forms forsake;
Share with one another,
Each of Christ partake.

Exercise the spirit!
Natural sense renounce;
Serve with one another,
Christ the Lord announce.

Exercise the spirit!
Soulish life deny;
Helping one another,
On the Lord rely.

Freed within the spirit
From self-righteousness,
From self-condemnation
And self-consciousness.

Freed within the spirit
From self-will and pride,
From self-love and glory,
All to override.

Exercise the spirit,
Victory to claim
By the blood which cleanses
And the mighty Name.

Exercise the spirit
Thus to touch the Lord;
Ever by the spirit
Take Him thru His Word.

It is by the spirit
Christ is testified;
It is by the spirit
Man is satisfied.

Exercise the spirit!
This is what we need!
Exercise the spirit!
May the Lord so lead!
