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.
