1 ETERNAL Word, eternal Son,
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.
2 The eternal glory's 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.
3 The Son in whom the fulness 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.
4 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.
