Song Lyrics

---

sung to Hymn to Joy by Beethoven

He's the image of Deity,
Icon of God's own Being.
In Him invisibility
Can by human eyes be seen.

First Born over all creation;
All that is was by Him made.
All things both in earth and heaven,
He their foundation has laid.

Visible and invisible,
All was created by Him.
Every power conceivable,
Was created just for Him.

He existed before all things,
No exceptions can be found.
He's the source of power that brings
Order by which all is bound.

He holds everything together,
And He's the Head of the church.
There is no need to ask whether
We should for another search.

He is the very beginning;
He's the firstborn from the dead.
None can over Him be winning;
He is supremely ahead.

God was pleased to have His fulness
Dwell so completely in Him,
And through His divine completeness,
Reconcile all things to Him.

Nothing on earth or in heaven
Will make God suffer a loss,
For peace He has just the weapon
Through His blood shed on the cross.
