Verse 1
The nature which its power receives
Inferior is to that which gives,
The human to divine:
The man we in our Saviour see
Made less than the divinity;
But both in Jesus join.

Verse 2
Jesus as God we magnify,
Jesus the same with the Most High:
For God who did ordain
The Son, his character express,
To judge the world in righteousness,
Will judge us—IN that man!

Verse 3
Ordain’d the Godhead cannot be;
But cloth’d in our humanity
He shall from heaven come down,
And every prostrate soul adore
The fulness of almighty power
Jehovah in his Son.

Verse 4
For this alone on earth we wait,
With glorious pomp and solemn state
To see the Lord descend
Great arbiter of all mankind,
And in the judge our brother find,
Our advocate and friend.
