God the Father’s Only Son

God the Fa­ther’s on­ly Son

And with Him in glo­ry One

One in wis­dom

One in might

Absolute and in­fi­nite;

Jesu

I be­lieve in Thee

Thou art Lord and God to me.

Preacher of eter­nal peace

The An­oint­ed to re­lease

Unto sin­ners chained be­fore

Setting wide the dun­geon door:

Jesu

I be­lieve in Thee

Christ the Pro­phet sent to me.

Low in deep Geth­se­ma­ne

High on dread­ful Cal­va­ry

In the gar­den

on the cross

Making good our ut­ter loss:

Jesu

I be­lieve in Thee

Priest and sac­ri­fice for me.

Ruler of Thy ran­somed race

And pro­tect­or by Thy grace

Leader in the way we wend

And re­ward­er at the end:

Jesu

I be­lieve in Thee

Christ

the King of kings to me.

Light re­vealed through clouds of pain

That the blind might see again;

Love con­tent in death to lie

That the dead might nev­er die:

Jesu

I be­lieve in Thee

Light and love and life to me.

All that I am fain to know

While I watch and wait be­low:

All that I would find ab­ove

Length and depth and height of love:

Jesu

I be­lieve in Thee

Thou art all in all to me.
