And glad­ly re­con­ciled to Thee,
Where Thou dost in glo­ry reign,
Incarnate, made as man with man to dwell,
Hath turned our night to morn.
But seek re­demp­tion in His blood.
He bows Him­self to view the sky;
Lord! ac­cept our warm­est praise
God adored, our na­ture wear­ing!
Its sweet­est notes be­long to you;
We bring the tri­bute of our praise,
May know that Thou art near;
In thy Re­deem­er’s breast.

con­des­cend­ing

What ex­am­ple do we find.
Helpless sin­ners to re­deem,
Thou hast blessed a mar­riage feast;
Poor debt­ors, by our Lord’s re­quest
Stoop to the poor heart of man.
In eq­ual hon­or with the Ho­ly Ghost,
How mild Thy com­ing now!
He left His Fa­ther’s throne ab­ove;
Looks down up­on the human race.
And our hearts with love in­flame,
Stooping to a world des­pair­ing,
For ev­er round His throne to sing.
Which to our notes will lend an ear,
To stoop and talk with me!
Thy cease­less pray­er He heard;
Was God’s eter­nal Son!
He ac­cepts His crea­tures’ praise.
O by Thy spot­less birth,
And hum­bly fall be­fore His feet,
O heav’n­ly bliss, Thine own to be,
