Why is He call’d, that Man adored

Verse 1
Why is he call’d, that man ador’d,
The Son of the Most High?
The Holy Ghost, th’ Almighty Lord
Descended from the sky:
The Holy Ghost our God supreme
We hence are bold to own,
For Christ, as man begot by him
Is God’s eternal Son.

Verse 2
Come, thou eternal Spirit of God,
God over all confest,
Diffuse thy heavenly love abroad
In a poor sinner’s breast:
Then shall I constantly maintain
That thou the highest art,
When Jesus is conceiv’d again
In my believing heart.
