[Flesh out of His flesh we are]

We are members of His body, out of His flesh [Gr.], &c. —v. 30.

Flesh out of His flesh we are,
And bone out of His bone,
Who the heavenly nature share
Of God's most holy Son;
God doth now our hearts impress,
Made soft, yet firm, like His above,
Fill'd with all the tenderness,
And all the strength of love.
