HYMN 15. A Sacred Hymn of the Deity of CHRIST.

1

In Thee, Lord Christ, we may
Thy Father's Glory see;
Thou his brightness and glory art,
The God-head dwells in thee.

2

Thou art a Man, yet God,
In thee both Natures meet,
That God and Man thou mightst Unite
In Union great and sweet.

3

Thou must be Man to Die:
Sing Praise, ye Saints, sing Praise!
Christ must be God to Satisfie;
His Glory therefore raise!

4

Such that behold Thee, Lord,
The Father also see;
And such a Mediator 't did
Behove thee for to be.

5

Thou lay'st thy Hands on both,
And dost to each display
Most equally thy dearest Love;
And therefore we must say,

6

There's none, Lord, like to Thee
For in thy Self does shine
All Glories which the Father hath,
most Sacred and Divine.
