Verse 1
The body He did once assume,
Did of the virgin’s substance take,
The flesh which swell’d her sacred womb,
And suffer’d torment for our sake,
Join’d to the Deity is gone,
And sits on his eternal throne.

Verse 2
The body pure of flesh and blood
Subject no more to death or pain,
Sublime at the right-hand of God,
Doth in perpetual rest remain:
Its virtues, fruits, effects we prove;
Yet still the body dwells above.

Verse 3
Inrob’d with majesty and power
It fills, and brightens all the sky,
Till coming all things to restore,
And visible to mortal eye,
Earth He renews by sovereign grace,
And shews the world his glorious Face.

Verse 4
Immortal Son of man, appear,
Our Maker, on thine azure seat,
Begin the great sabbatic year,
Thy people spotless and compleat
In full millennial joy maintain,
And then in thine eternal reign!
