Ere the blue heavens were stretched abroad

Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #146 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Ere the blue heavens were stretched abroad, From everlasting was the Word; With God he was, the Word was God, And must divinely be adored. 2 By his own power were all things made; By him supported all things stand; He is the whole creation's head, And angels fly at his command. 3 But lo! he leaves those heavenly forms; The Word descends and dwells in clay, That he may converse hold with worms, Dressed in such feeble flesh as they. 4 Mortals with joy beheld his face, The eternal Father's only Son: How full of truth, how full of grace, The brightness of the Godhead shone! 5 The angels leave their high abode, To learn new mysteries here, and tell The love of our descending God, The glories of Immanuel.
