BEFORE CHRIST JESUS EVERY ONE SHALL FALL

Before Christ Jesus every one shall fall

Of heavenly, earthly, and infernal things

Acknowledging that He is Lord of all.

When He, whose humble birth was in a stall,

Appears as Lord of Lord and King of kings

Before Christ Jesus every one shall fall.

Since He has known the wormwood and the gall

We love Him for the sweetness which He brings

Acknowledging that He is Lord of all.

He was before all things, and He could call

On winds and storms to cease their buffetings:

Before Christ Jesus every one shall fall.

And God has been delighted to install

Him on His throne, while each redeemed one sings

Acknowledging that He is Lord of all.

He has a glory which will never pall

While in His praise the court of heaven rings;

Before Christ Jesus every one shall fall

Acknowledging that He is Lord of all.
