[The sovereign Lord of Hosts is One]
Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel and
his Redeemer the Lord of hosts, I am the first, and I am
the last, and besides Me there is no God.
Isaiah xliv. 6.
I (Jesus) am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.
Revelation xxii. 13.
The sovereign Lord of Hosts is One,
For ever glorified,
The First and Last is God alone,
There is no God beside:
Worship Divine to Him is due,
Who doth the title claim,
The Alpha and Omega too,
The First and Last I am.
The King of saints, the Lord of Hosts,
Almighty to redeem,
In Him His ransom'd people trusts
The one great God supreme:
Jesus, Thou art to us made known
Fulness of Deity:
There is no other God but one,
No other God but Thee.
