Dear Lord, Thou art the Son of God
|

|
Dear Lord, Thou art the Son of God, His absolute expression; In Thee God speaks to us today, Thou art His definition. |
|
2
|
The impress of God's substance true, Effulgence of His glory, Thou even art our God Himself, In Thee is His full story. |
|
3
|
By Thee was made the universe, Subsisting by Thy merit; The heir, God hath appointed Thee, That all Thou may inherit. |
|
4
|
Since Thou hast purged our sins by death, In heaven Thou art seated, Till all Thy foes will be subdued And all God's will completed. |
|
5
|
A better name than angels have, From God Thou didst inherit; As Son of God to us as life, Thou now art in the Spirit. |
|
6
|
Thy kingdom is of righteousness, Thy throne will stand forever; God hath in love anointed Thee, And Thou shalt wax old never. |
|
7
|
Thou also art a man indeed, With all our human nature; By grace Thou tastedst death for us That we may have Thy stature. |
|
8
|
With glory and with honor crowned, All things to Thee are subject; As Captain of salvation, full, Thou art thru sufferings perfect. |
|
9
|
By death the devil Thou hast spoiled, And from death's bondage freed us; Thou sanctifiest us in life And dost to glory speed us. |
|
10
|
To us, Thy brethren, Thou art here, The Father's Name declaring; Within the Church Thou singest hymns, God's praises with us sharing. |
|
11
|
Superior Thou to Moses, Lord, As to the house the builder; Thou, our Apostle sent from God, Art worthy of more splendor. |
|
12
|
Thou art our real Joshua, By Thee the rest we enter; Our full salvation is of Thee, Our faith on Thee doth center. |
|
13
|
Thou art the heav'nly rest to us, Now dwelling in our spirit, For us to enter as the land And all Thy good inherit. |
|
14
|
Superior Thou to Aaron too— Thyself, the offering given, Thou enteredst, as our Great High Priest, The holiest place in heaven. |
|
15
|
Thou art our true Melchisedec, With endless life in power, To minister the "bread and wine," In every needful hour. |
|
16
|
Thou art the better sacrifice, Thru the eternal Spirit, Once offered unto God for us, That we may gain Thy merit. |
|
17
|
A better covenant was made With Thy dear blood in heaven; By Thee this sure new testament To Thy redeemed was given. |
|
18
|
Thou art its Maker adequate, For Thou dost have the merit; Thou art its Giver competent That we may all inherit; |
|
19
|
Its qualified Executor, By life of resurrection; Its potent Mediator too, Fulfilling God's election. |
|
20
|
Lord, Thou art now within the veil, As our unique Forerunner, That by Thy life, without the camp, We'll in the race be runners. |
|
21
|
Thou art the Finisher of faith, As well its Author perfect; By faith and love we follow Thee, And e'er to Thee are subject. |
|
22
|
Unequaled is Thy worth, dear Lord, And all Thou art we treasure; Thou art so perfect and complete, Beyond all human measure. |
