Author: Timothy Dudley-Smtih (born 1926) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #220 (1987) Topics: The Creation Lyrics: 1 Praise be to Christ in whom we see
the image of the Father shown,
the first-born Son revealed and known,
the truth and grace of deity;
through whom creation came to birth,
whose fingers set the stars in place,
the unseen powers, and this small earth,
the furthest bounds of time and space.
2 Praise be to him whose sovereign sway
and will upholds creation's plan;
who is, before all worlds began
and when our world has passed away:
Lord of the church, its life and head,
redemption's price and source and theme,
alive, the first-born from the dead,
to reign as all-in-all supreme.
3 Praise be to him who, Lord most high,
the fullness of the Godhead shares;
and yet our human nature bears,
who came as man to bleed and die:
and from his cross there flows our peace
who chose for us the path he trod,
that so might sins and sorrows cease
and all be reconciled to God. Languages: English Tune Title: YE BANKS AND BRAES
