Representative Text

1 God the Father's only Son,
yet with Him glory one;
one in wisdom, one in might,
absolute and infinite.
Jesus, I believe in Thee;
Thou art Lord, and God to me.

2 Preacher of eternal peace,
the anointed to release;
unto sinners chained before,
flinging wide the dungeon door.
Jesus, I believe in thee
Christ the Prophet, sent to me.

3 Low in deep Gethsemane,
High on dreadful Calvary;
in the garden, on the cross,
making good our utter loss.
Jesus, I believe in Thee;
Priest, and Sacrifice for me.

4 Ruler of Thy ransomed race;
and Protector by Thy grace;
Leader in the way we wend,
and Rewarder at the end.
Jesus, I believe in Thee;
Christ the King of kings to me.

5 Light revealed through clouds of pain,
that the blind might see again;
Love content in death to lie,
that the dead might never die.
Jesus, I believe in Thee;
Light, and Love, and Life to me.

6 All that I would want to know,
while I watch and wait below;
all that I would find above,
length, and depth, and height of love.
Jesus, I believe in Thee;
Thou are All in All to me.
