Before the heavens were spread abroad,
Before the heavens were spread abroad,
From everlasting was the Word;
From everlasting was the Word;
Line 30: Line 27:
And must divinely be adored.
And must divinely be adored.


The morning stars sang together  
The morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy.
and all the sons of God shouted for joy.
And we beheld His glory,  
And we beheld His glory,
as of the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth.
as of the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth.
The morning stars sang together,  
The morning stars sang together,
and all the sons of God shouted for joy.
and all the sons of God shouted for joy.


Line 52: Line 49:
And eternal victory,
And eternal victory,
Evermore and evermore.
Evermore and evermore.
Amen.
Amen.}}

Before the heavens were spread abroad,
From everlasting was the Word;
With God He was, the Word was God,
And must divinely be adored.

The morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy.
And we beheld His glory,
as of the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth.
The morning stars sang together,
and all the sons of God shouted for joy.

This is He whom seers in old time
Chanted of with one accord;
Whom the voices of the Prophets
Promis’d in their faithful word,
Lo, He comes the long expected,
Let creation praise it’s Lord,
Evermore and evermore.

Christ, to Thee, with God the Father,
And, O Holy Ghost to Thee,
Hymn, and chant, and high thanksgiving,
And unwearied praises be,
Honour, glory, and dominion,
And eternal victory,
Evermore and evermore.
Amen.
