[Why is He call'd, that Man adored]
He shall be called the Son of the Highest.
Verse 35. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the
power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, therefore also
that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Luke i. 32.
Why is He call'd, that Man adored,
The Son of the Most High?
The Holy Ghost, the' almighty Lord
Descended from the sky:
The Holy Ghost our God supreme
We hence are bold to own,
For Christ, as Man begot by Him,
Is God's eternal Son.
Come, Thou eternal Spirit of God,
God over all confess'd,
Diffuse Thy heavenly love abroad
In a poor sinner's breast:
Then shall I constantly maintain
That Thou the Highest art,
When Jesus is conceived again
In my believing heart.
