Thou Art the Everlasting Word By Metropolitan Tabernacle, London
Congregational singing
Metropolitan Tabernacle, London
Text: Josiah Conder
LYRICS
Thou art the everlasting Word,
The Father’s only Son;
God manifestly seen and heard,
And Heaven’s belovèd One:
Worthy, O Lamb of God, art Thou
That every knee to Thee should bow.
In Thee most perfectly expressed
The Father’s glories shine;
Of the full Deity possessed,
Eternally divine:
Refrain
True image of the Infinite,
Whose essence is concealed;
Brightness of uncreated light;
The heart of God revealed:
Refrain
But the high mysteries of Thy name
An angel’s grasp transcend;
The Father only − glorious claim!
The Son can comprehend:
Refrain
Throughout the universe of bliss,
The centre Thou, and sun;
The eternal theme of praise is this,
To Heaven’s belovèd One:
