8343. Jesus, Thou Everlasting Word

1 Jesus Thou everlasting Word!
Almighty God and sovereign Lord,
Who art from all eternity,
All things were made and formed by Thee.

2 Thou art the Lord of earth and Heav’n,
By Thee eternal life is giv’n:
Thou art the great and shining light
Which brings the way of truth to sight.

3 Jesus, the glorious Son of God,
Took on Himself our flesh and blood
When He was born the virgin’s Son,
To make the sons of men His own.

4 That mighty Word is come to view,
Which men or angels never knew;
Till in the flesh it was revealed
And all the prophecies fulfilled.

5 That blessèd Word to me reveal
My Lord! and let me taste and feel
That powerful Word, and light divine,
With life and grace in me to shine.
