 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 Thy 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.
