Lord, In Past And Distant Ages

In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father), full of grace and truth; John 1:1,14

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

  1. Ephesians 3:9, 1 Peter 1:20Lord, in past and distant ages,

    Titus 1:2, 1 Peter 1:20Long before the ken of man,

    Psalms 90:2, John 1:1-3Ere creation's words were spoken,

    John 17:5, John 1:1-3Or the heav'ns and earth began,

    Colossians 1:17, John 17:5Thou was there in all Thy glory -

    Ephesians 3:14, Philippians 2:10Blessèd Lord, we bow the knee -

    John 17:5, John 17:24Dwelling then in love unbounded:

    John 9:38, John 5:23Homage now we render Thee.

  2. Matthew 11:27, 1 Timothy 6:16What that love no thought can fathom;

    Matthew 11:27, 1 Timothy 6:16Nor can human lips define

    John 17:5, 1 Timothy 6:16Those relationships eternal,

    John 17:5, 1 Timothy 6:16All inscrutable, divine!

    Galatians 4:4,5, John 1:14But, in time, Thou wouldst in manhood

    John 1:18, John 17:26Here the Name of God declare,

    John 17:19-23, John 20:17In a wondrous, blest relation

    John 17:19-23, John 20:17Which Thou couldst with others share.

  3. John 19:30, John 17:4All His will Thou hast accomplished,

    John 17:4All the work He gave Thee, done;

    Ephesians 3:11, John 10:30One in thought, in plan and purpose,

    John 17:1, John 10:30He the Father, Thou the Son.

    Luke 24:6,7, Mark 16:9But on resurrection's morning,

    John 20:17, John 17:26To Thine own Thou didst declare

    John 20:17That Thy Father was their Father,

    John 17:21,22, John 17:26And His love they now might share.
