136:Before the world began one Word was there

Tunes: Incarnation, 170
Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4.

BEFORE the world began one Word was there;
Grounded in God he was, rooted in care;
By him all things were made, in him was love displayed,
Through him God spoke and said ?I am for you?.

2 Life found in him its source, death found its end;
Light found in him its course, darkness its friend;
For neither death nor doubt nor darkness can put out
The glow of God, the shout ?I am for you?.

3 The Word was in the world which from him came;
Unrecognised he was, unknown by name;
One with all humankind, with the unloved aligned,
Convincing sight and mind ?I am for you?.

4 All who received the Word, by God were blessed,
Sisters and brothers they of earth?s fond guest.
So did the Word of grace proclaim in time and space,
And with a human face, ?I am for you?.

John
