1
O God, th’ eternal Father, Thou,
The uncreated, great I AM!
More ancient than the ancients are,
Before the primal age began!
2
From everlasting Thou art God,
All time and space Thou dost transcend!
The fulness of eternity,
Without beginning, without end!
3
Th’ eternal source of all Thou art,
Before the heavens were decreed!
Thou art the first of all the first,
And e’en the foremost dost precede!
4
Thou art the life that ever lasts,
From age to age Thou endest not!
More lasting than all that which lasts,
Beyond the ultimate Thou art!
5
Thou art the Alpha as the first,
Omega, as the last Thou art!
From start to end Thou hast no lack,
Complete and perfect, wanting not!
6
We praise Thee for Thine endless years,
Extol Thee for Thy boundlessness!
We praise Thee for Thy fulness vast,
Extol Thee for Thy Perfectness!

THE SON BEING THE FATHER

We need to read the Gospel of John again to find out all the items that the Lord Jesus is to us. John tells us that the Word, who was God, became a man of flesh. Who is this Christ? This Christ is the very God incarnated as a man. He is the complete God and the perfect man, the God-man. Isaiah 9:6 says, “A child is born to us, / A Son is given to us; / And the government / Is upon His shoulder; / And His name will be called / Wonderful Counselor, / Mighty God, / Eternal Father, / Prince of Peace. ” Christ as the very God incarnated to be a man was a child born to us and a Son given to us. The Gospel of John tells us clearly that Christ is the very Son of God, but Isaiah 9:6 does not only tell us that a child is born to us whose name is called Mighty God. Isaiah 9:6 also tells us that a Son is given to us whose name is called Eternal Father.

In John 14 Philip asked the Lord Jesus to show the disciples the Father, and then they would be satisfied. Jesus responded to Philip, “Have I been so long a time with you, and you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how is it that you say, Show us the Father? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? ” (vv. 9-10). The Father is in the Son, and the Son is the very expression of the Father. The Son cannot be separated from the Father.

Because of the limitation of our human language in describing the mystery of the Divine Trinity, we may say that the Son and the Father are two persons of the Godhead, but we cannot say that They are two separate persons. These are two persons in one reality. You can never separate the Son from the Father. If you do not have the Son, you do not have the Father (1 John 2:23). If you have the Son, you have the Father because the Father is in the Son, and the Son is the very expression, the very embodiment, and the very reality of the Father. In John 10:30 the Lord Jesus said, “I and the Father are one. ”

Lowell Mason was born on January 8, 1792 Medfield, MA and died on August 11, 1872, Orange, NJ. He was an American music director and banker who was the leading figure in the 19th century American church music. Lowell composed over 1600 hymn-tunes, many of which are often sung today. His best-known work includes an arrangement of “Joy to the World” and the tune “Bethany, ” which sets the hymn text, “Nearer, My God to Thee. ” Mason also set music to “Mary had a Little Lamb. ”

He is largely credited with introducing music into American public schools, and is considered the first important U. S. music educator. He has also been criticized for helping to largely eliminate the robust tradition of participatory sacred music that flourished in America before his time.
