Verse 1
Jesus is God! the glorious bands
Of holy angels sing
Songs of adoring praise to him,
Their Maker and their King.
Verse 2
He was true God in Bethlehem’s crib,
On Calvary’s cross, true God;
He who, in heaven, eternal reigned,
In time, on earth abode.
Verse 3
Jesus is God! there never was
A time when he was not;
Boundless, eternal, merciful,
The Word the Sire begot.
Verse 4
Backward our thoughts through ages stretch,
Onward through endless bliss;
For there are two eternities,
And both alike are his.
Verse 5
Jesus is God! oh, could I now,
But compass land and sea,
To teach and tell this single truth,
How happy should I be!
Verse 6
Oh, had I but an angel’s voice,
I would proclaim so loud,
Jesus, the Good, the Beautiful,
Is everlasting God.
