Word Supreme, Before Creation

Author: John Keble Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #271 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Word Supreme, before creation Born of God eternally, Who didst will for our salvation To be born on earth and die, Well Thy saints have kept their station, Watching till Thine hour drew nigh. 2 Now ’tis come, and faith espies Thee; Like an eaglet in the morn One in steadfast worship eyes Thee; Thy beloved, Thy latest born. In Thy glory he descries Thee Reigning from the Tree of scorn. 3 Much he asked in loving wonder, On Thy bosom leaning, Lord. In the secret place of thunder Answer kind didst Thou accord, Wisdom for Thy church to ponder Till the day of dread award. 4 Lo, heav'ns doors lift up, revealing How Thy judgments earthward move; Scrolls unfolded, trumpets pealing, Wine cups from the wrath above; Yet o’er all a soft voice stealing, "Little children, trust and love." 5 Thee, th'almighty King eternal, Father of th'eternal Word, Thee, the Father’s Word supernal, Thee, of both the Breath adored, Heaven and earth and realms infernal Own one glorious God and Lord. Amen. Topics: The Church Year St. John the Apostle Scripture: John 21:20 Languages: English Tune Title: SIEH, HIER BIN ICH
