GREAT GOD ABOVE BEHELD BELOW
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Great God above, beheld below
In Christ the Image, once unknown
Before first dawn or moonlit night
The Word eternal ruled with might
Preeminence and lofty power
That saved our souls that foreknown hour
He molds the mountains, sculpts the streams
He cures our souls of sin’s disease
Chorus:
Go rest easy, weary soul
Call and cleave to Christ alone
Verse 2:
Great God unseen is now revealed
Christ, clothed in flesh, yet sovereign still
Saints reconciled know all our peace
Was willed and won at Calvary
Alive the Firstborn from the dead
The Great I Am, our Church’s head
Was crowned with thorns in scarlet flow
Our maker poured out for His own
Chorus:
Go rest easy, weary soul
Call and cleave to Christ alone
Go rest easy, weary soul
Call and cleave to Christ alone
Verse 3:
Oh soul, your Sovereign takes His seat
With rule, reign, and authority
Your Savior raised your low estate
Now draw near to the throne of grace
Now draw near to the throne of grace
Chorus:
Go rest easy, weary soul
Call and cleave to Christ alone
Go rest easy, weary soul
Call and cleave to Christ alone
