Song 105

Hail Jehovah’s Firstborn!

(Hebrews 1:6)

1. Let’s hail Jehovah’s Firstborn

—God’s Heir he has been made—

Who since he was created,

His Father’s voice obeyed.

He made all things existing

In heaven and on earth,

And he, as God’s own Spokesman,

Made known Jehovah’s worth.

2. Although he was in God’s form,

He did not selfishly

Endeavor to be equal

To God, in rivalry.

But humbly he descended

And took the form of men

To vindicate Jehovah

And give men life again.

3. For this Christ was exalted

And set by God on high

To be Jehovah’s Agent,

His name to sanctify.

He will at Armageddon

God’s worshipers defend,

Destroy foes of God’s Kingdom,

Bring peace that will not end.

4. So hail Jehovah’s Firstborn!

Make known his Kingdom reign.

From house to house keep preaching,

The cause of truth maintain.

With personal attention

Show others what to do.

And stimulate our brothers

To hail God’s Firstborn too.
