The Pre-eminence of Jesus

There is none, O Lord, like Thee,

Thou Son of the Father’s love;

Creator of everything I see,

In the visible sphere surrounding me,

And of unseen things above.

There is none—there is none like Thee,

Thou well-beloved of God!

In the increate eternity—

There is none, O Lord, like Thee.

There is none in heaven like Thee;

Thou hast no rival there.

Thy might and Thy glorious majesty,

Thine infinite supremacy,

The hierarchs declare.

There is none—there is none like Thee

Angelic hosts among:

Head of all principality—

There is none, O Lord, like Thee

There is none on earth like Thee,

Keep silence, princes all!

Kings, rulers, judges, bend the kneel

Hear ye, and fear the divine decree!

Before His footstool fall!

There is none—there is none like Thee

Among the sons of men.

Great is Thy kingly dignity

There is none, O Lord, like Thee.

There is none with such wealth of grace

In the heart’s deep fountains stored.

In the sacred and celestial place,

By things illustrious and base,

Be Thy peerless name adored!

There is none—there is none like Thee

To creation’s utmost end.

Lord of the heaven, the earth, the seat

There is none, O Lord, like Thee.

There is none with a love like Thine,

So sovereign, tried, and true!

Which brought Thee down from the heights divine,

To die the death that was justly mine,

And me to create anew.

There is none—there is none like Thee,

My life, my righteousness!

Whom soon in Thy glory I shall see—

There is none, O Lord, like Thee.
