I am ere the beginning. Manifold Creation of the Father’s will, by me Expressed, in its begotten order rolled; Image express of Him whom none may see, My glory veils and shadows for behoof Of all His creatures, His great Deity; Whereof ye are partakers, though aloof It dwells from you, ye in its light doth dwell, Sun of the soul—a pattern and a proof. The Father sitteth inaccessible To eye or ear. In me His plenitude Abides—His only Son for whom ye will, Rays of that Radiance wherein may be viewed His glory only. I His brightness am, His word in whom He sole is understood.
