William Billings - Philanthropy - текст песни (слова)

Jesus, the Savior from above,
 The Father's deep, descending Love
 Reached us, the lower parts of earth,
 And raised us to a heavenly birth :
 He who ascends to glory is the same,
 As humbled to the earth, from heaven came.
 
 Above the highest heavens far,
 Earth's lower parts now risen are ;
 When God, who put our nature on,
 Ascended, the triumphant Man,
 Where thrones, dominions, powers, and angels fall
 Before His Face, as filling all in all.
 
 Pre-eminence to Jesus given,
 To fill all things in earth and heaven
 The dispensation now is come,
 When God has gathered all things home;
 All things in love are gathered into one,
 Where heaven and earth make one beloved Son.
 
 Now Jesus fills all things, we know;
 All things above, and all below;
 That He fills all things, we are sure,
 Hence all things now to us are pure:
 In faith's idea no vacuum we find,
 For he fills all, as God's eternal Mind.
 
 Nothing but Jesus now we view;
 Old things are lost, and all things new:
 He fills our heart, our eye, our ear,
 And nought but Jesus doth appear.
 O holy Mystery! Here ends our want,
 Our griefs, our sorrows, troubles, and complaint.
