Behold God's own exalted Son
1
Behold God's own exalted Son,Adored by seraphs bright,A servant now to men become,With men he takes delight.
2
Admiring angels wondering viewThe condescending loveOf him to whom their homage dueWas offered once above.
3
Because he loves, he condescendsTo wash his brethren's feet;And leaves example to his friendsOf lowliness complete.
4
Who would reject his offered grace?Refuse to bow the knee?Disdain to take the humble place,Where he has deigned to be?
5
Let all who would be like their Lord,Accepted in his sight,Not only hear, but do his word;In doing there's delight.
