 1 

Christ is God's centrality

And His universality;

He is God's delight and joy

Throughout all eternity.

 
 2 

He's th' embodiment of God,

In Him all God's fulness dwells;

His unique supremacy

And His Godhead none excels.

 
 3 

All God's purpose is for Him,

That He might be all in all;

All the things in heav'n and earth

With Himself are made withal.

 
 4 

All creation is for Christ,

Everything was made by Him;

'Tis by Him all things subsist,

He's the hub and He's the rim.

 
 5 

In redemption He is all,

All through Him is reconciled;

By His blood all things with God

Now in peace are domiciled.

 
 6 

He the great beginning is,

And the Church's living Head;

He her life and content too,

And the firstborn from the dead.

 
 7 

In God's Kingdom He's the King,

All the pow'r to Him is giv'n;

In His glory He shall rule

Over all in earth and heav'n.

 
 8 

In new heaven and new earth

Center of all things He'll be,

For the Godhead and for man

Throughout all eternity.

 
 9 

God intends in everything

Christ should have preeminence,

And that such a Christ of all

We should now experience.
