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.
