Very man, and very God

Verse 1
Very man, and very God,
Thou hast bought us with thy blood:
Two distinguish’d natures we
In thy single person see,
God and man in thee alone
Mix inseparably one.

Verse 2
How could God for sinners die?
How could man the pardon buy?
When thy human nature bled,
Then the blood divine was shed,
Blood of him who was in thee
God from all eternity.

Verse 3
Thou its infinite desert
Didst to thy own death impart,
Didst impart to thy own blood
All its prevalence with God:
Such a Saviour us became,
Such we worship in the Lamb!
