Divinity of Christ

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #XXXIII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Ere the blue heav'ns were stretch'd abroad Lyrics: 1 Ere the blue heav'ns were stretch'd abroad, From everlasting was the Word: With God he was; the Word was God, And must divinely be ador'd. 2 By his own pow'r were all things made; By him supported all things stand; He is the whole creation's head, And angels fly at his command. 3 Ere sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the host of morning stars. Thy generation who can tell, Or count the numbers of thy years! 4 But lo! he leaves those heav'nly forms, The Word descends and dwells in clay, That he may hold converse with worms, Dressed in such feeble flesh as they. 5 Mortals with joy beheld his face, Th' eternal Father's only Son; How full of truth, how full of grace, When through his eyes the Godhead shone. 6 Archangels leave their high abode To learn new myst'ries here, and tell The loves of our descending God, The glories of Emmanuel.

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.II (1766) Lyrics: 1 E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad, From Everlasting was the Word; With God he was; the Word was God, And must divinely be ador'd. 2 By his own Pow'r were all Things made; By him supported all Things stand; He is the whole Creation's Head, And Angels fly at his Command. 3 E'er Sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the Host of Morning-Stars; (Thy Generation who can tell, Or count the Numbers of thy Years?) 4 But lo, he leaves those Heav'nly Forms, The Word descends and dwells in Clay, That he may hold Converse with Worms, Drest in such feeble Flesh as they. 5 Mortals with Joy beheld his Face, Th' Eternal Father's only Son; How full of Truth! how full of Grace! When thro' his Eyes the Godhead shone! 6 Arch-Angels leave their high Abode, To learn new Myst'ries here, and tell The Loves of our descending God, The Glories of EMANUEL.
