Hast made us kings and priests to God, And we shall reign with thee. 8 The worlds of nature and of grace

20, 21

Are put beneath thy power; Then shorten these delaying days, And bring the promised hour.

Deity and Humanity of Christ.- Col. i. 16; 1 Tim. iii. 16; John i. 1,3, 14. ERE the blue heavens were stretch'd abroad, From everlasting was the Word;

With God he was; the Word was God; And must divinely be adored.

2 By his own power were all things made; By him supported all things stand; He is the whole creation's Head, And angels fly at his command. 3[ Ere sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the host of morning stars; ( Thy generation who can tell, Or count the number of thy years?)] 4 But lo! he leaves those heavenly forms; The Word descends and dwells in clay, That he may hold converse with worms, Dress'd in such feeble flesh as they. 5 Mortals with joy behold his face,

The eternal Father's only Son; How full of truth! how full of grace! When through his eyes the Godhead shone. 6 Bless'd angels leave their high abode, To learn new mysteries here, and tell The loves of our descending God, The glories of Immanuel.
