Word supreme before creation
born of God eternally
who did will for our salvation
to be born on earth and die;
well your saints have kept their station
watching 'til your hour drew nigh.

Much he asked in loving wonder
on your bosom leaning, Lord!
In that secret place of thunder
answer kind you did accord
wisdom for your Church to ponder
'till the day of dread award.

Lo! heav'n's doors lift up revealing
how your judgements earthward move;
scrolls unfold, and trumpets pealing,
winecups from the wrath above,
yet o'er all a soft voice stealing
"Little children, trust and love!"

You, almighty God eternal,
Maker of the'eternal Word;
You the Maker's Word supernal,
You of both the Breath adored;
heaven and earth, and realms infernal
own, one glorious God and Word.
