Tune: St Fulbert [Series: Hymns with Saints Tunes 3]
('Ye choirs of new Jerusalem')
John 1 v.14-18
*********
And the Word was made flesh and dwelt
Midst us, His presence felt
And we beheld His glory as
He the Son of God has
Glory as of sole begotten
Of the Father, the Son
Is He, and full of truth and grace
Came to our human race
John Baptist said of Him, He be
Ranked higher than I, see
He appeared after me, but He
The One I speak of be
And of His fulness have all we
Received, it gracious be
The law was given through Moses
But truth, grace unto us
No one has seen God any time
In person in life's rhyme
The only begotten Son, He
Father makes known freely

Nicely done with familiar Bible verse. A good one Orchi
Thank you Sb. Is it Easter (the hymn in the clip); Christmas (the Bible passage is Christmassy); or what? I never did know what year it is, let alone what day! lol.
You are welcome Orchi yes every day is the same to me
"Inimitable!" Such a word, there is. Good write O 👍🏻🕊️
Thank you A. I think it means not-imitate-able. And now spellchecker don't like that word! lol. Fido asks me 'What you doing, knowing 5-syllable words?!'
Amen, Orchi! And to think, Popeye still hasn't figured out how to get the spinach out of the tin without opening it! Hehe! Seriously, though, a wonderful hymn, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you T. Does Popeye get fresh spinach too, not in cans? lol.
