Text: | Eternity and Deity of Christ |
Author: | James Relly |
1 Hail! high, exalted, righteous man,
First of the ways of God!
Whose work of love in thee began,
As wintess'd by thy blood.
2 Before the sons of God declar'd
With shouts, their solemn joy;
Or songs of morning stars were heard,
As pure without alloy:
3 Thy early day, proclaim'd thee then,
The first born child of grace:
Great representative of men,
Before the Father's face.
4 The great invisible we see,
In thee, and thee alone:
To men, and angels out of thee,
The Godhead is unknown.
5 God's noble works shine in thy face,
Thou his infinite thought;
Creation, providence, and grace,
In thee, decreed and wrought.
