Hymn 199 — Lord Jesus Christ, our living Head,
| 199 | C. C. ELLIOTT | C.M. |
| 1 |
Lord Jesus Christ, our living Head, How bright Thy glories shine! Unique in Thy humanity: Eternally divine. | |
| 2 |
Thou wast before created things, Of all the Author Thou; Upholder of the universe, To Thee as God we bow. | |
| 3 |
The creature mind, howe'er sublime, Thine Essence cannot know, Yet we, to Thee, in majesty, With reverence bend low. | |
| 4 |
But in Thy manhood's glorious state Our thankful hearts rejoice; For of Thy body, Lord, are we, Of love divine the choice. | |
| 5 |
Great source of wisdom, power and food, All riches from Thee flow; Thou on Thy church, Thy fulness here, All treasure dost bestow. | |
| 6 |
So unto Thee, our glorious Head, Our tribute now we bring; In nearness, by the Spirit's power, In heav'nly measures sing. | |
