402. Jesus is God: the solid earth

Jesus is God: the solid earth,

The ocean broad and bright,

The countless stars, like golden dust,

That strew the skies at night,

The wheeling storm, the dreadful fire,

The pleasant wholesome air,

The summer's sun, the winter's frost,

His own creations were.

Jesus is God: the glorious bands

Of golden angels sing

Songs of adoring praise to Him,

Their Maker and their King.

He was true God in Bethlehem's crib,

On Calvary's Cross true God,

He who in heaven eternal reigned

In time on earth abode.

Jesus is God: let sorrow come,

And pain, and every ill,

All are worth while, for all are means

His glory to fulfil;

Worth while a thousand years of woe

To speak one little word,

If by that " I believe" we own

The Godhead of our Lord.
