Before angels beheld His holy face
And stars stood not in their place
When no creature breathed living air
In eternal dwelling my God was there
And then He spoke and it was so
Creation’s canvas was there on show
And all came forth at mighty call
It pleased Him well when He viewed it all
When from the dust He formed the man
Already in place salvation’s plan
Before creation’s dawn was given birth
God’s only Son was ordained for earth
And though for sin God sent the flood
He promised redemption through precious blood
To rescue sinners from the fall
He sent His Son to do it all
A wooden cross received His frame
And pardon found in that precious name
When; it is finished; came in triumph call
And in His death Jesus gave us His all
All of that way His Father willed
All for us His blood was spilled
All completed in salvation’s plan
And all must come now to this Man
For all have sinned; then who can save
But Jesus risen from death and grave
And all; He says; who come to me
Will receive my pardon full and free
All to Jesus I will give
My heart; my soul that I might live
For calling me glad is my call
For all your giving Lord; I give my all
