286. Eternity

1 O thou essential Word,
Who wast from everlasting
With God, for thou wast God;
On thee our burden casting
O Saviour of our race,
Welcome indeed thou art,
Redeemer, Fount of Grace,
To this my longing heart.

2 Come, self-existent Word,
And speak thou in my spirit;
The soul where thou art heard,
Doth endless peace inherit.
Thou Light that lightenest all,
Abide through faith in me,
Nor let me from thee fall,
And seek no guide but thee.
