59--Thou art the everlasting Word,

Thou art the everlasting Word,

59

	1.	Thou art the everlasting Word,
		The Father's only Son,
		God manifestly seen and heard,
		And heav'n's beloved One:
		Divine, O Son of God, art Thou,
		In Thee God's fulness find we now.
	2.	In Thee most perfectly expressed
		The Father's glories shine;
		Of the full Deity possessed,
		Eternally divine:
		Divine, O Son of God, art Thou,
		In Thee God's fulness find we now.
	3.	True image of the Infinite,
		Whose essence is concealed;
		Brightness of uncreated light;
		The heart of God revealed:
		Divine, O Son of God, art Thou,
		In Thee God's fulness find we now.
	4	But the, high mysteries of T'ny Name
		An angel's grasp transcend;
		The Father only, glorious claim!
		The Son can comprehend:
		Divine, O Son of God, art Thou,
		In Thee God's fulness find we now.
	5.	Throughout the universe of bliss,
		The center, Thou, and sun;
		Th' eternal theme of praise is this,
		To heav'n's beloved One:
		Divine, O Son of God, art Thou,
		In Thee God's fulness find we now.
