Hymn Text
Verse 1
Hail Father, whose creating call,
Unnumber'd worlds attend
Who art in all and overall
Thyself both source and end.
Verse 2
In light unsearchable enthroned,
Whom Angels dimly see,
The Fountain of the Godhead own'd,
First-named among the three.
Verse 3
From Thee, through an eternal Now,
Springs thy co-equal son
An everlasting Father thou,
Ere time began to run.
Verse 4
Not quite display'd to worlds above,
Nor quite on earth conceal'd,
By wondrous, unexhausted love
To mortal man reveal’d.
Verse 5
When Nature's outworn robe shall be
Exchanged for new attire;
And earth, which rose at Thy decree,
Dissolve before Thy fire.
Verse 6
Thy name, O God, be still adored
Through ages without end,
whom none but Thine essential Word
And Spirit comprehend.
