1 Jehovah speaks, let Israel hear, Let all the earth rejoice and fear, While God's eternal Son proclaims His sovereign honours and his names:
2 "I am the last, and I the first, "The Saviour God, and God the just; "There's none beside pretends to shew "Such justice and salvation too.
3 "[Ye that in shades of darkness dwell, "Just on the verge of death and hell, "Look up to me from distant lands, "Light, life and heaven are in my hands.
4 "I by my holy Name have sworn, "Nor shall the word in vain return, "To me shall all things bend the knee, "And every tongue shall swear to me.]
5 "In me alone shall men confess "Lies all their strength and righteousness; "But such as dare despise my Name, "I'll clothe them with eternal shame.
6 "In me the Lord, shall all the seed "Of Israel from their sins be freed, "And by their shining graces prove "Their interest in my pardoning love."
