The Partner of our flesh and blood, as man

Verse 1
The partner of our flesh and blood,
As man, inferior is to God:
The lower part of Christ, the heel
Was bruis’d, and did our sorrows feel:
But though he would his life resign,
His part superior is divine,
And doth, beyond the reach of pain,
God over all for ever reign.

Verse 2
Great fountain-head of Deity,
Father of Christ, we worship thee,
Thy sovereign majesty maintain
As greater than the Son of man:
Yet thee, O Christ, of God the Son,
In essence, substance, nature One,
Thy Father’s equal we proclaim
With God eternally the same.
