Hymn CCXCIV. Long Metre. Jesus Christ, the same Yesterday, to Day and Forever

With wonder, Lord, our souls proclaim Th' immortal honours of thy name; Assembled round our Saviour's throne We make his countless glories known.

Ere Adam's clay with life was warm'd Or Gabriel's nobler spirit form'd; Before creation was begun, Before all ages, was the SON.

Thro' all succeeding ages he The same hath been and still shall be; Immortal honours crown his head, Tho' earth and skies wax old and fade.

The same his power his flock to guard, The same his bounty to reward; The same his faithfulness and love, To saints on earth and saints above.

Let nature change, and sink, and die, Jesus shall raise his people high; And place them near his father's throne In glory lasting as his own.
