Jesus is God! The solid earth
the ocean broad and bright,
The countless stars, the golden dust,
That strew the skies at night.
the wheeling storm, the dreadful fire,
the pleasant wholesome air,
the summer’s sun, the winter's frost,
His own creations were.

Jesus is God! The glorious bands
Of golden angels sing
Songs of adoring praise to him,
their maker and their king.
He was true God in Bethl'hem's crib,
On Calvry's Cross true God;
He who in heav'n eternal reigned,
In time on earth abode.

Jesus is God, alas, they say
On earth the numbers grow
Who his divinity blaspheme
To their unfailing woe,
And yet, what is the single end
Of this life's mortal span,
Except to glorify the God
Who for our sakes was Man?

Jesus is God; let sorrow come,
And pain and ev'ry ill;
All are worthwhile -for all are means
His glory to fulfill,
Worthwhile a thousand years of life
To speak one little word,
If only by your faith we own
The Godhead of our Lord.

Jesus is God; oh, could I now
But compass land and sea
To teach and tell this single truth,
How happy should I be!
Oh, had I but an angel's voice,
I would proclaim aloud.
Jesus is Good, the beautiful,
Is everlasting God.
