The principle of incarnation
Is but the blend of God and man,
Both acting in cooperation
To thus fulfill th’ eternal plan.
To God, the man is His expression,
And man is of God’s life possessed;
The man is wholly God’s possession,
And God thru man is thus expressed.
Redemption is accomplished fully
In man, God’s wisdom thus to show;
Salvation is expounded wholly
By man, that all creation know.
God’s service in this dispensation
Requires that man
should work with Him;
Thus God and man in close relation
And joint dependence work therein.
It is not God Himself to labor,
Nor man to try to serve alone,
But God and man to work together
Each moment that
His plan be shown.
The principle of incarnation
To all our work we must apply,
To all our gift and operation,
That we as one may serve thereby.
