[His Son whom all heaven's host obey'd]
We see Jesus...crowned with glory, &c.
—ii. 9.
His Son whom all heaven's host obey'd,
The Father did on us bestow!
Inferior to the angels made,
Made capable of human woe,
He tasted once the mortal pain,
The Lamb for sinners crucified,
For all and every child of man,
That was, or shall be born, He died.
The Father did on us bestow!
Inferior to the angels made,
Made capable of human woe,
He tasted once the mortal pain,
The Lamb for sinners crucified,
120
That was, or shall be born, He died.
But Him we now exalted see,
The Son of man to life restored,
And crown'd with glorious majesty,
His passion's infinite reward:
In heaven He doth for ever reign,
That we the way to heaven may find,
And suffering with our Head obtain
The joy He bought for all mankind.
The Son of man to life restored,
And crown'd with glorious majesty,
His passion's infinite reward:
In heaven He doth for ever reign,
That we the way to heaven may find,
And suffering with our Head obtain
The joy He bought for all mankind.
