Jesus Thou ev­er­last­ing Word!
Almighty God and so­ver­eign Lord,
Who art from all eter­ni­ty,
All things were made and formed by Thee.

Thou art the Lord of earth and Heav’n,
By Thee eter­nal life is giv’n:
Thou art the great and shin­ing light
Which brings the way of truth to sight.

Jesus, the glo­ri­ous Son of God,
Took on Him­self our flesh and blood
When He was born the virg­in’s Son,
To make the sons of men His own.

That migh­ty Word is come to view,
Which men or an­gels ne­ver knew;
Till in the flesh it was re­vealed
And all the pro­phe­cies ful­filled.

That bless­èd Word to me re­veal
My Lord! and let me taste and feel
That pow­er­ful Word, and light di­vine,
With life and grace in me to shine.
