Hymn to God the Son

Hail, God the Son, in Glory crown'd E'er Time began to be, Thron'd with thy Sire thro' half the Round Of wide Eternity!

Let Heaven and Earth's stupendous Frame Display their Author's Power, And each exalted Seraph Flame, Creator, thee adore!

Thy wondrous Love the God-head shew'd Contracted to a Span, The Co-eternal Son of God, The mortal Son of Man.

To save Mankind from lost Estate, Behold his Life-Blood Stream! Hail, Lord Almighty to create! Almighty to redeem!

The Mediator's Godlike sway, His Church beneath sustains: Till Nature shall her Judge survey The King Messiah reigns.

Hail with essential Glory crown'd When time shall cease to be, Thron'd with the Father thro' the Round Of whole Eternity!
