Song of the Son

(God) Speaks to us by Him 
Semblance of God's glory is He
Signature of God's very being 
(He) Sustains all things by His powerful word 

Sits at the right hand of the Majesty 
Superior to angels 
Suffering death He is crowned with glory and honour 
Salvation Pioneer, Sanctifies us 

Served God as a merciful and faithful High Priest 
Shared in humanity 
Sympathises with our weakness 
Sacrifice He became of atonement for the sins of the people 

(The) Source of eternal salvation for all who obey Him 
Sanctifies our conscience from dead works to worship the living God 
Single offering of His body has perfected for all time those who are sanctified 
Shame He disregarded and endured the cross 

Such hostility He endured against Himself 
So that we may not grow weary or lose heart 
Same is He, yesterday and today and forever
(The) Son, He is Jesus Christ!

(Inspired by the Letter to the Hebrews)
