E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad
Appears in 98 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:9-10 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 Numbers 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 beheld 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 Loves of our descending God,
The Glories of EMANUEL.

Eternal God, Your Love's Tremendous Glory
Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:1-12 Lyrics: 1 Eternal God, your love's tremendous glory
cascades through life in overflowing grace,
to tell creation's meaning in the story
of love evolving love from time and space.
2 Eternal Son of God, uniquely precious,
in you, deserted, scorned and crucified,
God's love has fathomed sin and death's deep darkness,
and flawed humanity is glorified.
3 Eternal Spirit, with us like a mother,
embracing us in love serene and pure:
you nurture strength to follow Christ our brother,
as full-grown children, confident and sure.
4 Love's trinity, self-perfect, self-sustaining;
love which commands, enables and obeys:
you give yourself, in boundless joy, creating
one vast increasing harmony of praise.
5 We ask you now, complete your image in us;
this love of yours, our source and guide and goal.
May love in us, seek love and serve love's purpose,
till we ascend with Christ and find love whole. Topics: Trinity; Baptism (general); Images of God Used With Tune: HIGHWOOD
Eternal God, Your Love's Tremendous Glory
