| 1 | Dear Lord Jesus, we adore Thee, |
| | | ”Seed of woman” Thou became; |
| | Of the virgin wast begotten, |
| | | Called e’en with a human name. |
| | Taking thus the human nature, |
| | | Thou as man the serpent trod; |
| | By the Cross his head Thou bruised |
| | | And fulfilled the plan of God. |
| Chorus |
| | | Lord, we see Thy glory, |
| | | Shown in human beauty, |
| | | Full of splendor, manifested |
| | | | In humanity. |
| 2 | As a man, by incarnation, |
| | | Flesh and blood didst Thou partake |
| | To destroy the devil, Satan, |
| | | In our stead and for our sake. |
| | With the name of Jesus given |
| | | And Emmanuel called too, |
| | Thou becam’st our precious Savior, |
| | | Bringing us salvation true. |
| 3 | Thou, “Last Adam” wast entitled, |
| | | And wast called the “second man”, |
| | Head of all the new creation, |
| | | Better than the first man. |
| | On this earth in life and conduct |
| | | Thou indeed wast Son of man; |
| | Now in heaven with this nature |
| | | Thou dost still appear as man. |
| 4 | In the time which God appointed |
| | | Thou wilt come, dear Lord, again, |
| | With the glory of the Father, |
| | | Still appearing as a man. |
| | Even on the throne of judgment |
| | | Son of man Thou still wilt be; |
| | And with this, our human nature, |
| | | Thou forevermore wilt be. |
