Verse 1
All who partake of Christ, partake
The nature properly divine
Of him, who humbled for our sake,
Us with himself vouchsaf’d to join;
And in his single person shew’d
The substance both of man and God.
Verse 2
The precious promises in him
Are all contain’d and verified;
And fashion’d like the God supreme,
Whoe’er in Christ by faith abide,
Th’ essential holiness they share,
The image of the heavenly bear.
Verse 3
Jesus the Lord, thy nature pure
To us, as capable, impart,
And thus our hallow’d hearts assure
That thou the true Jehovah art,
And wilt thro’ death our leader be,
Our God thro’ all eternity.
