29. On Advancement.
1
Our Blest Redeemer fanci'd,Humility even so,
Our way to be Advanced,
Must be by being low.
2
He had all in Fruition,Yet for our sakes did pitch,
Upon a mean condition,
That us he might enrich.
3
This Prince inestimableBy whom the World is swaid,
Was in a homely Stable,
Born of a Mother-Maid.
4
The Heav'ns could not contain him,Yet him a cratch did hold;
Fools did indeed disdain him,
But wise men brought him Gold.
5
He fasted, and was tempted,To feast us with his Grace,
That we might be exempted,
Opprest with griefs he was.
6
W'are by his shame renownedAnd eased by his pain;
We by his Cross are Crowned,
And by his loss we gain.
7
On Earth, he was a stranger,That we might be Gods Sons;
He past through Death and danger,
To make us sit on Thrones.
15
All Glory be to him therefore,
Ascrib'd, both now and evermore.
Ascrib'd, both now and evermore.
