Thou Art the Everlasting Word

Music by W. Wilson, words by Josiah Conder


Thou art the everlasting Word,
The Father's only Son,
God manifest, God seen and heard,
And heaven's beloved One.

Worthy, O Lamb of God, art Thou,
That every knee to Thee should bow!

In Thee, most perfectly expressed
The Father's glories shine,
Of the full deity possessed,
Eternally divine!

True image of the Infinite,
Whose essence is concealed;
Brightness of uncreated light,
The heart of God revealed:
