1  Christ is God's centrality

    And His universality;

    He is God's delight and joy

    Throughout all eternity.

 2  He's th' embodiment of God,

    In Him all God's fulness dwells;

    His unique supremacy

    And His Godhead none excels.

 3  All God's purpose is for Him,

    That He might be all in all;

    All the things in heav'n and earth

    With Himself are made withal.

 4  All creation is for Christ,

    Everything was made by Him;

    'Tis by Him all things subsist,

    He's the hub and He's the rim.

 5  In redemption He is all,

    All through Him is reconciled;

    By His blood all things with God

    Now in peace are domiciled.

 6  He the great beginning is,

    And the Church's living Head;

    He her life and content too,

    And the firstborn from the dead.

 7  In God's Kingdom He's the King,

    All the pow'r to Him is giv'n;

    In His glory He shall rule

    Over all in earth and heav'n.

 8  In new heaven and new earth

    Center of all things He'll be,

    For the Godhead and for man

    Throughout all eternity.

 9  God intends in everything

    Christ should have preeminence,

    And that such a Christ of all

    We should now experience.
