XII. Hymn to God the Son

1 Hail, God the Son, in Glory crown'd,
E'er time began to be,
Throned with thy Sire, thro' half the Round
Of w9de eEternity!

2 Let Heaven, and Earth’s stupendous Frame
Display their Author’s Power;
And each exalted Seraph Flame
Creator, thee adore!

3 Thy wondrous Love the God-head shew'd
Contracted to a Span,
The Co-eternal Son of God,
The mortal Son of Man.

4 To save Mankind from lost Estate,
Behold His Life Blood Stream!
Hail, Lord Almighty to create!
Almighty to redeem!

5 The Mediator’s Godlike sway
His Church below sustains;
Till Nature shall her Judge survey,
The King Messiah reigns.

6 Hail with essential Glory crown'd
When time shall cease to be;
Thron'd with the Father thro' the Round
Of whole Eternity!
