Jesus, the everlasting word,
the Father’s only Son;
God manifestly seen and heard
and heaven’s beloved One:
Worthy, O Lamb of God adored,
that every tongue should call you Lord.
2. In you, most perfectly expressed,
the Father’s glories shine;
of the full deity possessed,
eternally divine:
3. True image of the Infinite,
whose essence is concealed;
brightness of uncreated light;
the heart of God revealed:
4. But the high mysteries of your name
an angel’s grasp transcend:
the Father only—glorious claim!—
the Son can comprehend:
5. Lord of the universe of bliss,
its centre and its sun;
the eternal theme of praise is this
to heaven’s beloved One:
