My Hymn for Today: 'In the Beginning'

In the Beginning    CM

TUNE: Abergele

In the beginning was the Word,

And the Word was with God;

In the beginning He was there,

And this Word is our Lord.

Through Him has everything been made,

In Him is life and light;

He brings us to the bright new day,

And banishes the night.

The Word became the living flesh,

And dwelt upon the earth:

He came to rescue us from sin,

And grant us second birth.

He is the One and Only Lord,

Whose glory we can praise;

He is the Christ, God’s only Son,

He’s life and truth and grace.

Through Him one day we’ll see our God,

When we the Son proclaim;

Then we will worship evermore,

God’s everlasting flame.
