The firstborn of all creation,
The image of the unseen God;
Suffered to give us salvation,
To whom we must honor and laud.
For by Him all were created,
Up in Heaven and here on earth;
By which we should be elated,
To give every one of us birth.
Whether on thrones or dominions,
All things were created through Him;
Regardless of your opinions,
He is the source of strength and vim.
Because He is before all things,
Through Him all things hold together;
While all the goodness it brings,
No matter of where you gather.
For He is the head of the church,
The firstborn brought back from the dead;
Who will respond of your own search,
Calming you at times that you dread.
For in Him all fullness of God,
Helping you to be pleased to dwell;
Curing you where you have been flawed,
For being spiritually well.
Through Him to be reconciled,
Making peace through blood on His cross;
Because no longer defiled,
Since our gain came from His loss.
You were once alienated,
Hostile doing evil deeds;
And feeling discriminated,
By another who intercedes.
He has reconciled from death,
Presenting you being blameless;
Being holy through every breath,
Once you have prayed as to confess.
Your faith continues as steadfast,
Not shifting hope of the Gospel;
For the Word remains ever last,
As proclaimed unto the people.
