1. Christ is God' 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 or 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.
