Christ's Humiliation and Exaltation
Isaac Watts (1709) • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 27:8-9
Verse 1
What equal honors shall we bring To Thee, O Lord, our God, the Lamb, When all the notes that angels sing Are far inferior to Thy name?
Verse 2
Worthy is He that once was slain, The Prince of Life that groaned and died, Worthy to rise, and live, and reign At His almighty Father’s side.
Verse 3
Honor immortal must be paid, Instead of scandal and of scorn; While glory shines around His head, He wears a crown without a thorn.
Verse 4
Blessings forever on the Lamb, Who bore the curse for wretched men! Let angels sound His sacred name, And every creature say, "Amen."
Verse 5
Amen.
