In the Testament of old

In the Testament of old

See th’ acacia wood with gold;

Such humanity behold!

Praise the Lord

praise the Lord

praise the Lord!

Jesus is th’ acacia wood—

What a man

so fine and good!

All corruption He withstood—

Praise the Lord

praise the Lord

praise the Lord!

Jesus

wisdom of God’s plan

Son of God and Son of Man;

A new manhood He began—

Praise the Lord

praise the Lord

praise the Lord!

For since by the one came death

By this man came living breath;

Man the Lord recovereth—

Praise the Lord

praise the Lord

praise the Lord!

Types and shadows to us show

Jesus is the man to know.

Now this man in us must grow—

Amen

Lord! Amen

Lord!

Amen

Lord!

Lord

may Thy humanity

Permeate us thoroughly

Drawing many men to Thee—

Amen

Lord! Amen

Lord!

Amen

Lord!
