THE FIRST AND THE LAST

The LORD has many titles and names;

Everyone given reflects well-deserved fame.

“The First and the Last” was chosen by the LORD;

In this title we draw encouragement from God.

 

The LORD is the Author who writes our history;

He begins and ends with His glorious mercy.

He was the One who created Israel from nothing;

He will be the One who will accomplish all things.

 

It is the LORD who made the earth and all that exist;

He also made the heavens with power that is His.

He has the first and also the final word in everything;

To this majestic and glorious God, may we always sing.

 

The LORD has a special regard for all who are righteous;

He loves them for walking away from paths of wickedness.

God has spoken and called to Himself all who would follow Him;

He would cause them to succeed as they work at resisting sin.
