45 A SONG OF REDEMPTION
| |||
| Refrain: | Christ is the image of the invisible God,* the first-born of all creation. | ||
| 1 |
The Father has delivered us from the dominion of darkness,* and transferred us to the kingdom of his belovèd Son; | ||
| 2 |
In whom we have redemption,* the forgiveness of our sins. | ||
| 3 |
He is the image of the invisible God,* the first-born of all creation. | ||
| 4 |
For in him all things were created,* in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible. | ||
| 5 |
All things were created through him and for him,* he is before all things and in him all things hold together. | ||
| 6 |
He is the head of the body, the Church,* he is the beginning, the first-born from the dead. | ||
| 7 |
For it pleased God that in him all fullness should dwell,* and through him all things be reconciled to himself. | ||
| |||
|
Christ is the image of the invisible God,* the first-born of all creation. | |||
