EN 5350 O Christ, the Heavens’ Eternal King

1Tim.1.17

Versi Version 1

1

O Christ, the heavens’ eternal King,

Creator, unto Thee we sing,

With God the Father ever One,

Co-equal, co-eternal Son.

2

Thy hand, when the first the world began,

Made in Thine own pure image man,

And linked to fleshly form of earth

A living soul of heavenly birth.

3

And when the envious crafty foe

Had marred Thy noblest work below,

Thou didst our ruined state repair

By deigning flesh Thyself to wear.

4

Once of a virgin born to save,

And now new born from death’s dark grave,

O Christ, Thou bidd’st us rise with Thee

From death to immortality.

5

Eternal Shepherd, Thou art wont

To cleanse Thy sheep within the font,

That mystic bath, that grave of sin,

Where ransomed souls new life begin.

6

Divine Redeemer, Thou didst deign

To bear for us the cross of pain,

And freely pay the precious price

Of all Thy blood in sacrifice.

7

Jesu, do Thou to every heart

Unceasing Paschal joy impart;

From death of sin and guilty strife

Set free the new born sons of life.

8

All praise be Thine, O risen Lord,

From death to endless life restored;

All praise to God the Father be

And Holy Ghost eternally.
