The Deity and Humanity of CHRIST

Appears in 98 hymnals Scripture: John 1:1-14 First Line: E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad 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 Number 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 behold 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 Love of our descending God, The Glories of EMANUEL.
