God Manifest in Flesh

James Relly • English

Primary Scripture: Job 19:26-27

Verse 1

See, O my soul, with wonder see, Array'd in flesh, thy God, Cloth'd with my whole humanity, And deeply drench'd in blood!

Verse 2

My flesh, my blood, and bone espous'd; (O the amazing plan!) From nature's death and darkness rous'd, When God became a man.

Verse 3

My frame, once pure, was marr'd and hamr'd, Between his hands quite spoil'd; But now a nobler vessel form'd, When God became a child.

Verse 4

At Bethl'em was my purer birth, The virgin mother mine, His heav'n married to my earth, In Christ, the man divine.
