| In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. (John 1:1‑2) |
| The life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us. (1 John 1:2) |
Thou art the everlasting Word,
The Father’s only Son;
God manifest, God seen and heard,
The heaven’s beloved One. |
Image of the infinite Unseen,
Whose being none can know;
Brightness of light no eye has seen,
God’s love revealed below. |
