Was once in flesh array'd! 3 Then shone almighty power and love In all their glorious forms; When Jesus left his throne above To dwell with sinful worms. 4 To dwell with misery below, The Saviour left the skies; And sunk to wretchedness and woe, That worthless man might rise. 5 Adoring angels tun'd their songs To hail the joyful day; With rapture then, let mortal tongues Their grateful worship pay. 6 What glory, Lord, to thee is due! With wonder we adore; But could we sing as angels do, Our highest praise were poor. Topics: The Incarnation of Christ
