[The Father greater than the Son]

My Father is greater than I. John xiv. 28.

The Father greater than the Son
Made flesh for us, we gladly own;
But less than God as man,
As touching His Divinity,
Equal to the Most High is He
Whom heaven cannot contain.
Whose spirits bow to Jesus' name,
Nor less nor greater, but the same
In dignity and power
Jehovah manifest we praise,
And shall in everlasting lays
With all His saints adore!
