Was there ever Word in history such as this

through Whom all things came to be?

Whose throne will reign eternally

Whose power is righteousness and bliss?

He is the radiance of God’s own glory,

the stamp of God’s identity

He is the Child of the nativity.

he the author of creation’s saving story.

On the cross he purified;

the blood of God salvation got

his sacrifice beyond all thought

when for us for love he died.

No greater word, no greater voice

can guide us to a greater choice.

Harold Macdonald

Lesson 5: Hebrews 1: 1-12
