| 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. |
