Before the heaven and earth

Author: Brian Black (born 1926) Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: The Ascension of Christ Lyrics: 1 Before the heaven and earth were made by God's decree, the Son of God all-glorious dwelt in God's eternity. 2 Though in the form of God and rich beyond compare, he did not stay to grasp his prize; nor did he linger there. 3 From heights of heaven he came to this world full of sin, to meet with hunger, hatred, hell, our life, our love to win. 4 The Son became true Man and took a servant's role; with lowliness and selfless love he came, to make us whole. 5 Obedient to his death — that death upon a cross, no son had ever shown such love nor father known such loss. 6 To him enthroned on high, by angel hosts adored, all knees shall bow, and tongues confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Where thy terrors, vanquished king? 4 Let Immanuel be adored, Ransom, Mediator, Lord! To creation's utmost bound Let th' eternal praise resound.
