CHRIST EXALTED.

I

I am he that was and is;
I am he that's yet to come:
I am he that ever lives,
Dead, but risen from the tomb!
I am he whom seraphs own,
And before my footsteps fall;
High on an eternal throne,
Lord! and ruler over all!

44

II

Thou art he! who all things made,
And to whom all things shall bow;
Nature's fountain, and her head,
Everlasting lord art thou!
Everlasting priest and king,
Head o'er all of god to men:
God and man—o'er all we sing,
God and man with thee we reign!
