Lyics

O Jesus, the glory, the wonder, and love

Of angels and glorified spirits above,

And saints who behold thee not, yet dearly love,

Rejoicing in hope of thy glory.

Thou only and wholly art lovely and fair,

Who robb'st not the Father with him to compare,

The Father's own image glows in thee, shines there

In visible bodily glory.

Worthiness dwells in thee,

Excellent dignity,

Beauty and majesty,

Glory environs thee,

Power, honour, dominion, and life rest on thee,

O thou chiefest, O thou chiefest,

O thou chiefest among the ten thousands.
