CI. God Manifest in Flesh

1 See, O my soul, with wonder see,
Array'd in flesh, thy God,
Cloth'd with my whole humanity,
And deeply drench'd in blood!

2 My flesh, my blood, and bone espous'd;
(O the amazing plan!)
From nature's death and darkness rous'd,
When God became a man.

3 My frame, once pure, was marr'd and hamr'd,
Between his hands quite spoil'd;
But now a nobler vessel form'd,
When God became a child.

4 At Bethl'em was my purer birth,
The virgin mother mine,
His heav'n married to my earth,
In Christ, the man divine.
