O Christ, to sons of men;
Jehovah spake thee from his heart,
And worlds existed then.
2 He spake thee then a law to all
The glorious hierarchy,
And firm decreed their dreadful fall,
Who would not worship thee.
3 By thee, he rules the worlds above,
And all the worlds below;
By thee, he doth his grace and love,
His wrath and justice, shew.
4 Thou, the exalted throne of grace,
The Father's peaceful seat,
Where we with joy behold
And worship at his feet.
5 In thee now sav'd, no more we fear
The curse of Adam's fall;
In thee with boldness we draw near
To God, the judge of all. Topics: Attributes, Characters, Names, and Offices of Christ, from the New Testament Scripture: John 1:1 Languages: English
