1 Everlasting, changing never!
Of one strength, no more, no less:
Thou, almightiness for ever -
All the same Thy holiness:
God eternal, God eternal,
All things, all dost Thou possess.

2 We poor weak ones, once poor sinners,
Would not in our weakness stay;
We, the low ones, would be winners
Of the bright and living way,
Which ascending, which ascending
Leads in Christ to perfect day.

Leads in Christ to perfect day.
3 Nearer to Thee would we venture,
Of Thy truth more largely take;
Upon life diviner enter,
Into day more glorious break -
Life eternal! Life eternal!
Which Thy word by Jesus spake.
Of Thy truth more largely take;
Upon life diviner enter,
Into day more glorious break -
Life eternal! Life eternal!
Which Thy word by Jesus spake.
