Jesus Is
GOD THE ALPHA AND OMEGA,
IS OUR ALMIGHTY KING
BELOVED AND BLESSED POTENTATE,
TO HIM WE ARE TO SING.
GOD OUR COUNSELLOR,
CREATOR OF MANKIND IS HE;
DAYSPRING, DELIVERER
AND PART OF THE HOLY TRINITY.
EMANUEL, GOD WITH US,
THE EVERLASTING ONE;
HE THE FATHER OF LIGHTS HAS FORGIVEN
AND THE SACRIFICE IS DONE.
GOOD MASTER, GREAT HIGH PRIEST,
GUARDIAN OVER THE SAINTS;
OUR HIGH TOWER KEEPS US
SO WE DO NOT FAINT.
MADE IN THE IMAGE OF HIS FATHER,
HE IS THE INFINITE ONE;
JEHOVAH THE JUDGE, OUR JUSTIFIER,
IS THE GREAT HOLY SON.
KING OF KINGS, LORD OF LORDS;
AND THE LIVING BREAD IS HE;
LORD OF GLORY, LIFE EVERLASTING
AND THE LILY OF THE VALLEY.
MORNING STAR IN THE VAST HEAVENS ABOVE;
MESSIAH, MASTER AND THE GIVER OF LOVE.
MAN OF SORROWS WHOSE BLOOD WAS SHED;
PRECIOUS CORNERSTONE THE CHURCH'S HEAD.
THE GREAT PHYSICIAN THE SICK HE MADE WELL;
OUR RANSOM, OUR ROCK
WHO REDEEMED US FROM HELL.
SOVEREIGN SAVIOUR,
SHARON'S ROSE WE ADORE;
THE TRUE VINE WITH
UNSPEAKABLE GIFTS IN STORE.
JESUS OUR TEACHER IS
OUR VICTOR TILL HIS RETURN;
WONDERFUL WORD OF LIFE,
THE PERFECT WAY TO LEARN.
ALL THESE NAMES REFLECT
OUR LORD AND KING;
EL OLAM - EVERLASTING GOD
OVER EVERY LASTING THING.
