Thou art the everlasting Word

Thou art the everlasting Word

The Father’s only Son

God manifestly seen and heard

And heav’n’s beloved One:

Divine

O Son of God

art Thou

In Thee God’s fulness find we now.

In Thee most perfectly expressed

The Father’s glories shine;

Of the full Deity possessed

Eternally divine:

Divine

O Son of God

art Thou

In Thee God’s fulness find we now.

True image of the Infinite

Whose essence is concealed;

Brightness of uncreated light;

The heart of God revealed:

Divine

O Son of God

art Thou

In Thee God’s fulness find we now.

But the high mysteries of Thy Name

An angel’s grasp transcend;

The Father only

glorious claim!

The Son can comprehend:

Divine

O Son of God

art Thou

In Thee God’s fulness find we now.

Throughout the universe of bliss

The center

Thou

and sun;

Th’ eternal theme of praise is this

To heav’n’s beloved One:

Divine

O Son of God

art Thou

In Thee God’s fulness find we now.
