[Our Lord's humility we praise]

That take, and give unto them for Me, &c. —xvii. 27.

Our Lord's humility we praise,
Who doth our needy nature take
And every ordinance obeys
Of man, as subject, for our sake:

Our Saviour's goodness we adore,
Who pays the debt He never owed,
While by an act of sovereign power
His greatness pays it, as a God.
