This is a SUBLIME HYMN to a PERFECT TUNE (video)
This is the one POEM / HYMN that I wish Id written !
THOU ART THE EVERLASTING WORD
The FATHERS only SON
GOD manifestly seen & heard
And HEAVENS beloved ONE !
Worthy - O Lamb of God - art Thou
That every knee to Thee should bow !
True likeness of the INFINITE
Whose essence is concealed
Brightness of uncreated LIGHT
The HEART of GOD revealed !
Worthy - O Lamb of God - art Thou
That every knee to Thee should bow !
In Thee most perfectly expressed
The FATHERS glories shine
Of the full DEITY possessed
Eternally DIVINE !
Worthy - O Lamb of God - art Thou
That every knee to Thee should bow !
But the high mysteries of Thy Name
An ANGELS grasp trancends
The FATHER only - Gloriuos claim
The SON can comprehend !
Worthy - O Lamb of God - art Thou
That every knee to Thee should bow "
This is a sublime Hymn - by Josiah Condor - based on the
Prologue to JOHNS GOSPEL *In the beginning was the WORD
and the WORD was with GOD and the WORD was GOD* - AMEN

Yes, a fine hymn B&A. I should add it to my repertoire of hymns and tunes. Well, verses are 8.6.8.6. (Common Metre), and Chorus/Refrain in 8.8. metre.
Does one sing the last line of the Refrain once or twice each time? I'm not sure.
THANKS UNCLE STEVE ~ Brian here ~ pleased you appreciated it ! Th last ;ine of the r efrain is sung as written ~ then reapeated ~ OK When I was in the Christian Bretehern we used to sing it almost every week with Communiion. Latterly it was replaced by *SUCH LOVE* It is in ou r book in the Evangelical Church *The New Redemption Hymnal* but we only have it occasionally on a Sunday Evening ~ The BABY (Golden Oldies) is dissapearing with The Holy Water ! C'est la Vie !
Blessings & Jumping for Joy to YOU & FRISKY FIDO !
