GOD IS SUPREME

God rules in majesty and might

And all things serve His will;

Unrighteous rulers do the right

He binds them to fulfil,

While He has acted that His mind

Should be His prophets’ theme

And saints secured from humankind

Acclaim Him as supreme.

But God, desiring that His heart

Should no more be concealed,

Came out in Jesus to impart

Truths richly now revealed.

The Father, Son and Spirit now

Abide in hearts of saints

Secured as worshippers who bow

As freed from sin’s constraints.

If sin had made this sphere impure

Before the dawn of Man

God worked in wisdom to secure

His own eternal plan.

In Christ He challenged Satan’s power

And seized his panoply:

Then, in the darkest, weakest hour

Christ won the victory!

In answer to Christ’s loving heart

God has secured the Bride,

His helpmate and His counterpart,

Derived, as from His side.

It is the fulness of the Head

The assembly now displays,

While in Christ Jesus being led

To give God endless praise.
