Though Thou art God,
most glorious, high,
Thou in the flesh to us came nigh,
A lowly man become thereby;
Lord, I remember Thee!
Glory divine was put away
Under the tent of flesh to stay,
No outward beauty to display;
Lord, I remember Thee!
Thou art a root from out dry ground,
Thou wast the Man of sorrows found,
Hated, despised by man around;
Lord, I remember Thee!
Gentle and lowly is Thy heart,
Willing to suffer all Thou art,
To God and man complaining not;
Lord, I remember Thee!
Thou as a man art tender, sweet,
Balanced in every way, complete,
Meal-offering to the Father meet;
Lord, I remember Thee!
Doing the Father’s will Thy prize,
Never accepting Satan’s lies,
None like Thyself, so faithful, wise;
Lord, I remember Thee!
For Thine obedience to God’s will,
Willing to suffer deathly ill,
E’en on the Cross my place to fill,
Lord, I remember Thee!
Therefore hath God exalted Thee,
Given Thee glory, majesty,
Heaven and earth will bow the knee;
O Lord, I worship Thee!
