8.6.8.6.8.8.

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.
