Heir of All Things

Heir of All Things

God spake by His prophets

 In days long ago

His Word to His people,

 That Truth they might know.

 

But now in these days

 He speaks by His Son,

Chosen Heir of all things,

 The Most Holy One.

 

Express Image of God,

 He’s the Brightness of glory;

He purged all our sins;

 Oh, tell the old story!

 

Now at the right hand

 Of the Majesty above,

Better than angels,

 This Jesus I love.

 

No angel hath

 A more excellent Name;

For He is God’s Son--

 In perfection He came.

 

For ever and ever

 Shall be His throne;

A sceptre of righteousness

 Is His alone.

 

The oil of gladness

 Anointed His head;

The heavens and earth

 His mighty hands spread.

 

Though they shall perish,

 He shalt remain;

They shall wax old,

 But He is the same.

 

Made lower than angels,

 Suffering death for us all;

Bringing many to glory

 Who were ruined by the fall.

 

He was made like His brethren,

 Our comforter to be;

He was tempted and tested,

 Like unto thee.

 

If we hold fast the confidence,

 The hope, and the joy,

Then praises of glory

 Our tongues will employ!
