Thou art the everlasting Word

C54 E59 K54 T59
1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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.
5
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.
