Verse 1
Jesus the Father’s darling Son
In Joseph we behold,
The Man with God forever one,
By envious brethren sold;
To Gentile hands deliver’d o’re
Whom God did soon release,
Whom every knee shall bow before
And every tongue confess.

Verse 2
Redeem’d from all his sufferings here
All power to Him is given,
Advanc’d in his own right t’ appear
Before the King of heaven;
The Spirit He hath receiv’d above,
Of wisdom and of grace,
The fulness of his Father’s love
For Jacob’s favour’d race.

Verse 3
The church his house and kingdom stands,
And subjected to Him
Acknowledges the mild commands
Of its great Head supreme;
Not of a servant but a Son
Jesus the power maintains,
With full authority, alone
O’re earth and heaven He reigns.
