[He did: the King invisible]
But will God indeed dwell on the earth?
—viii. 27.
He did: the King invisible,
Jehovah, once on earth did dwell,
And laid His majesty aside:
Whom all His heavens cannot contain,
For us He lived, a mournful man,
For us a painful death He died!
Jehovah, once on earth did dwell,
And laid His majesty aside:
Whom all His heavens cannot contain,
For us He lived, a mournful man,
For us a painful death He died!
Still the great God resides below,
(And all His faithful people know
He will not from His church depart,)
The Father, Son, and Spirit dwells,
His kingdom in the poor reveals,
And fills with heaven the humble heart.
(And all His faithful people know
He will not from His church depart,)

And fills with heaven the humble heart.
