“THE BRIGHTNESS OF HIS GLORY, AND THE EXPRESS IMAGE OF HIS PERSON.”
Heb. i. 3.
Thou art the Everlasting Word,
The Father's Only Son;
God manifestly seen and heard,
And Heaven's Beloved One.
Worthy, O Lamb of God, art Thou,
That every knee to Thee should bow.
The Father's Only Son;
God manifestly seen and heard,
And Heaven's Beloved 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.
Worthy, O Lamb of God, art Thou,
That every knee to Thee should bow.
The Father's glories shine;
Of the full Deity possessed,
Eternally Divine.
Worthy, O Lamb of God, art Thou,
That every knee to Thee should bow.
True Image of the Infinite,
Whose Essence is concealed;
Brightness of Uncreated Light;
The Heart of God revealed.
Worthy, O Lamb of God, art Thou,
That every knee to Thee should bow.
Whose Essence is concealed;
Brightness of Uncreated Light;
The Heart of God revealed.
Worthy, O Lamb of God, art Thou,
That every knee to Thee should bow.

But the high mysteries of Thy name
An Angel's grasp transcend:
The Father only—glorious claim!
The Son can comprehend.
Worthy, O Lamb of God, art Thou,
That every knee to Thee should bow.
An Angel's grasp transcend:
The Father only—glorious claim!
The Son can comprehend.
Worthy, O Lamb of God, art Thou,
That every knee to Thee should bow.
Yet, loving Thee, on whom His love
Ineffable doth rest,
Thy glorious worshippers above
As One with Thee are blest.
Worthy, O Lamb of God, art Thou,
That every knee to Thee should bow.
Ineffable doth rest,
Thy glorious worshippers above
As One with Thee are blest.
Worthy, O Lamb of God, art Thou,
That every knee to Thee should bow.
Throughout the universe of bliss,
The centre Thou, and Sun,
The' eternal theme of praise is this,
To Heaven's Beloved One:—
Worthy, O Lamb of God, art Thou,
That every knee to Thee should bow.
The centre Thou, and Sun,
The' eternal theme of praise is this,
To Heaven's Beloved One:—
