“He is before all things.” Col. 1. 17
W. Cowper L.M.
1
My song shall bless the Lord of all;
My praise shall climb to his abode;
Thee, Saviour, by that name I call,
The great Supreme, the mighty God.
2
Without beginning or decline,
Object of faith, and not of sense;
Eternal ages saw him shine;
He shines eternal ages hence.
3
As much when in the manger laid
Almighty Ruler of the sky,
As when the six days’ work he made
Filled all the morning stars with joy.
4
Of all the crowns Jehovah wears,
Salvation is his dearest claim;
That gracious sound well-pleased he hears,
And owns Immanuel for his name.
