O Lord, Thou art the Son of man,
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
