The Son? Absolutely.
But God the Father is firstborn of creation? I genuinely do not see that anywhere in the Bible. That breaks down the entire meaning of what "God" is. God the Father is never "of creation" and is never "born", ever. The Son is, but the Father is not.
In other words, I'm not asking this question out of my unpopular perspective on the Trinity. I don't bring that to other threads besides the "Is God a Trinity" thread because it's not my intention to constantly hound people about it everywhere I can. I'm asking..... from the perspective of a standard Trinity belief, I don't know that anyone says "the Father is the firstborn of creation".
So I'm kind of curious now to find out if this hymn originated from within the LC (and thus shows the confusion of the persons of the Trinity like Lee sometimes did....i.e. "the Son is the Father") or if this was written by someone outside the LC.

My thinking is that it was written by someone other than John Ingles (spelling)?
But, I wonder if a version was written by John Ingles and later edited by Lee-it’s?
If you get steamed by the first verse, you’ll blow a head gasket on the last couple of verses where the writer claims that “What He is is the Body”, referring to the heretical 4 in 1 doctrine of God.
