This hymn has a unique tune

 

 1  Thou art the everlasting Word,

       The Father's only Son,

    God manifestly seen and heard,

       And heav'n's beloved One:

    Divine, O Son of God, art Thou,

    In Thee God's fulness find we now.

 

 2  In Thee most perfectly expressed

       The Father's glories shine;

    Of the full Deity possessed,

       Eternally divine:

    Divine, O Son of God, art Thou,

    In Thee God's fulness find we now.

 

 3  True image of the Infinite,

       Whose essence is concealed;

    Brightness of uncreated light;

       The heart of God revealed:

    Divine, O Son of God, art Thou,

    In Thee God's fulness find we now.

 

 4  But the, high mysteries of Thy Name

       An angel's grasp transcend;

    The Father only, glorious claim!

       The Son can comprehend:

    Divine, O Son of God, art Thou,

    In Thee God's fulness find we now.

 

 5  Throughout the universe of bliss,

       The center, Thou, and sun;

    Th' eternal theme of praise is this,

       To heav'n's beloved One:

    Divine, O Son of God, art Thou,

    In Thee God's fulness find we now.
