My Jesus is my chief
delight, The everlasting Son,
He spoke the Word of
Creation And behold it was done
Before the clouds
adorned the skies, Before the solid land,
Before the fields,
before the floods, Christ dwelt at God’s right hand.
When he ordered the
heavens And spread them near and far
To mandate where the
sun should rise, And marshal every star.
When he poured out
the sea, And spread the flowing deep,
HE gave the flood a
firm decree In its own bounds to keep
Shall Wisdom cry
aloud, And not her speech be heard?
Will you not heed the wondrous voice of God's eternal Word?
"Then come,
receive His grace, Ye children, and be wise;
Happy the man that
keeps His ways; The man that shuns them dies.
Ere sin was born, or
Adam's dust Was fashioned to a man.
Grace saw the need
and saw the seed And our adoption planned
The Trinity foresaw
the cross Ere the image bearers fell
With joy He built
the mansion where The sons of men should dwell.
For before there was
Creation The battle plan was done
As surely as the Lord
is good Victory was good as won
For all that is,
was, and will be Never comes as a surprise
The one who spoke
the Word of Life Sees with all-seeing eyes.
Shall Wisdom cry
aloud, And not her speech be heard?
Then come, receive
His grace, Ye children, and be wise;
Happy the man that
keeps His ways; The man that shuns them dies.
