1 The radiance of the Father Before the dawn of time You spoke and all creation came to be The molecules and planets Reveal Your great design And every one was made so we could see So we could see You are the glorious Christ The greatest of all delights Your power is unequaled Your love beyond all heights No greater sacrifice Than when You laid down Your life We join the song of angels Who praise You day and night Glorious Christ 2 You left the air of heaven To breathe the dust of earth And dwell among the outcast and the poor You came to be forsaken And died to take our curse So You could be our joy forevermore Forevermore BRIDGE You're seated now in heaven Enthroned at God's right hand You've shattered d**h and freed us From our fears And though we cannot see You You're coming back again And all will be made right when You appear And all will be made right when You appear
