Image of the Invisible

Verse 1

Now in the face of Jesus, we God's brightest form of glory see; Beaming with mild and heav'nly rays, He all his Father's grace displays.

Verse 2

Blest image of th' eternal God, Here his rich glories shine abroad; With a resplendent lustre shine His pow'r, his truth, and love divine.

Verse 3

Of all creation the first born; Of all that heav'n's bright courts adore, He as a prince, and sov'reign reigns, Almighty pow'r his throne sustains.

Verse 4

See Jesus our exalted head, By whom the heav'ns, and earth, were made; Subjected to his high command, Thrones, kingdoms, and dominions stand.

Verse 5

It pleas'd th' eternal Fulness well, In Christ the Lord alone to dwell; From this rich fountain freely flows Complete relief for all our woes.
