[Brightness of the' Eternal Glory]
Who being the brightness of His glory, &c.
—i. 3.
Brightness of the' Eternal Glory,
Image of our God express'd,
Jesus, let Thy works adore Thee,
God supreme for ever bless'd!
Still upheld by their Creator,
Heaven and earth Thy power confess;
Lord of universal nature,
Take the universal praise.

God supreme for ever bless'd!
Still upheld by their Creator,
Heaven and earth Thy power confess;
Lord of universal nature,
Take the universal praise.
From His heavenly throne descending
Son of God, and Son of man,
See Him on a cross depending,
By His sinful creatures slain!
O the depth of Love redeeming!
God His Spirit doth resign!
See the blood in pardons streaming,
Precious balm of blood Divine!
Son of God, and Son of man,
See Him on a cross depending,
By His sinful creatures slain!
O the depth of Love redeeming!
God His Spirit doth resign!
See the blood in pardons streaming,
Precious balm of blood Divine!
Flow'd from Him an open fountain
For the universal sin,
Wash'd away the' enormous mountain,
Made a world of sinners clean;
By His one complete oblation,
Jesus did the ransom find,
Quench'd His Father's indignation,
Purged the guilt of all mankind.

After His few days of mourning,
Rose our Lord no more to die,
To His heavenly realms returning,
To His seat above the sky,
Where He sat supreme, before
One of all His works was made,
In full majesty and power,
Rested our triumphant Head.

Object of their adoration,
Saviour, Thee Thine angel-train
Met with rapturous exclamation,
Welcomed to Thy courts again!
Still they shout, and fall before Thee,
Thee their great Creator own,
Re-install'd in all Thy glory,
Bright on Thine eternal throne!
