77 Almighty God, the Loveliest One
1 Almighty God, the practical God, the loveliest One! You have come from heaven to earth and incarnated as flesh. You live together with man, yet no one has ever known You. Humble and hidden, You utter Your words, bringing the way of eternal life. You suffer hardship and humiliation—all for the sake of man’s salvation. You pour out Your life to man, and we see how lovely You are. Oh, Almighty God, the loveliest One! On earth, You are the loveliest One; we’ll love You forever.
2 Almighty God, the practical God, the loveliest One! Your heart and love are nowhere else in the world of men. You judge and chastise man, testing and refining them in myriad ways. Your work and utterances are all meant to purify and save man. You bestow the whole truth on us and pour out all Your love. Your judgment and Your love have conquered our hearts completely. Oh, Almighty God, the loveliest One! On earth, You are the loveliest One; we’ll love You forever.
3 Almighty God, the practical God, the loveliest One! Through Your judgment, our corruption is cleansed. We appreciate Your wisdom and almightiness, and we know Your righteousness and holiness. We experience Your love, which is most true and real. At the price of all the blood in Your heart, You save us. You are lovely in so many ways. How could we not hate to part from You? Oh, Almighty God, the loveliest One! On earth, You are the loveliest One; we’ll love You forever.
