Eternal Word, eternal Son,
Anonymous
The Father’s constant joy,
What Thou hast done and what Thou art
Shall all our tongues employ;
Our life, our Lord, we Thee adore;
Worthy art Thou for evermore.
The eternal is living light,
Of God the image Thou,
Creator of the universe
Upholding all things now;
Our peace, our strength, we Thee adore;
Worthy art Thou for evermore.
The Son in whom the fullness dwells,
Through whom all glories flow,
Thou hast a servant’s form assumed
That creatures God might know;
Our spring, our Head, we Thee adore;
Worthy art Thou for evermore.
Declarer of the Father’s name,
Expression of His grace,
The Word of life, the light of men,
The Lord with unveiled face;
Our joy, our hope, we Thee adore;
Worthy art Thou for evermore.
