 1 

O Lord, Thou art the Son of man,

Our human nature Thou didst take;

Begotten of a virgin true,

Of flesh and blood Thou didst partake.

 
 2 

In bondman's form, with lowliness,

Thou walkedst on this earth of woe;

The human living Thou didst have

And all its suff'rings undergo.

 
 3 

Born in a manger as a babe,

Thou wast a child among the poor;

Thou as a carpenter didst work,

And e'en an outlaw's death endure.

 
 4 

Then Thou wast raised up from the dead,

Still with the human nature true;

And as a man in form divine,

Thou didst ascend to heaven too.

 
 5 

Now over all, and on the throne,

Thou, still a man, art glorified;

A man with God in light divine

With whom our God is satisfied.

 
 6 

In glory Thou wilt come again,

Still as a man appearing then;

As King of kings, with pow'r divine,

With human nature seen by men.

 
 7 

Thou, as the center of all things,

In the new heav'n and earth shalt be,

Forever as the One divine,

Existing in humanity.
