Representative Text

His Word is His eternal Son,
And Christ the whole creation made.

3. Jesus, the Lord and God most high,
Maker of all mankind and me!

To know, and love, and live to Thee.

4. Wherefore to Thee my heart I give,
For Thou Thyself dost give the power;
And if for Thee on earth I live,
Thee I shall soon in Heav’n adore.
