The End of All Things

Before a world was spun in space, Before You gave created grace, You were—in splendor,perfect, whole, The Everlasting,endless Soul.

The seraphim in ceaseless flight, Veil their faces in the light. Their cry resounds through heaven’s span: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty!” (Revelation 4:8)

The cosmos, vast and deeply hurled, But speaks a fraction to the world Of Your eternal power and might, Your daystar banishing the night.

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. (Psalm 19:1)

But higher still than star or sun, The glory of Your Only Son— The exact imprint of Your face, The fountain of redeeming grace.

The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being… (Hebrews 1:3)

In Him, Your nature is made known, Upon the cross,Your love was shown. The wrath appeased,the veil was torn, For hopeless sinners,lost, forlorn.

And now the Spirit’s holy breath Conquers the power of sin and death. He draws our hearts to seek Your own, And makes Your glory,glory known.

This is the purpose, this the end: On You alone,all things depend. To magnify Your matchless worth, Throughout the heavens and the earth.

For from him and through him and for him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen. (Romans 11:36)

So let my life, a fleeting breath, Join in this triumph over death. To echo back the praise You’re due, And glorify my God in You.

Until that day the faith gives way to sight, And we are swallowed up in light. And every knee shall bow and see The God who is,and ever shall be—

Glorified.
