LyicsBEFORE the heavens were spread abroad,
From everlasting was the Word;
With God he was--the Word was God,
And shall divinely be adored.
By his own power were all things made,
By him supported all things stand:
He is the whole creation's head,
And angels fly at his command.
But lo! he leaves his Father's throne,
Descends to earth the prince of peace;
when in his form the Godhead shone,
How full of peace! how full of grace!
DOXOLOGY
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow:
Praise him all creatures here below:
Praise you the Son, exalt his name:
Praise you our God--Praise you the Lamb.
