[How should Israel's sons commend]
It came into his heart to visit his brethren, &c.
—vii. 23.
How should Israel's sons commend
His kind humility,
Who so greatly did descend
His brethren poor to see?
O with what stupendous love
Did Christ His heavenly bliss forsake,
Leave His Father's throne above,
Our nature to partake!
His kind humility,
Who so greatly did descend
His brethren poor to see?
O with what stupendous love
Did Christ His heavenly bliss forsake,
Leave His Father's throne above,
Our nature to partake!
Only love Thy heart inclined,
In majesty supreme,
Brought Thee, Saviour of mankind,
Thine Israel to redeem;
Gall'd by sin and Satan's chain
For us once more the heavens bow,
Jesus, visit us again,
And save Thy people now.

Jesus, visit us again,
And save Thy people now.
