Lord, what is man, lost man,
That Thou shouldst be so mindful of him?
That the Son of God forsook his glory, His abode.
To become a poor, tormented man!
The Deity was shrunk into a span,
And that for me, O wondrous love, for me.
Reveal ye glorious spirits, when you knew the way the Son of God took to renew lost man,
Your vacant places to supply;
Blest spirits tell which did excel, which was more prevalent,
your joy or your astonishment.
That man should be assum'd into the Deity,
That for a worm, a God should die.
Oh! oh! for a quill, drawn from your wing
To write the praises of eternal love;
Oh! oh! for a voice like yours, to sing
That anthem here, which once you sung above.
Hallelujah.
