The principle of incarnation

The principle of incarnation

Is but the blend of God and man

Both acting in cooperation

To thus fulfill th’ eternal plan.

To God

the man is His expression

And man is of God’s life possessed;

The man is wholly God’s possession

And God thru man is thus expressed.

Redemption is accomplished fully

In man

God’s wisdom thus to show;

Salvation is expounded wholly

By man

that all creation know.

God’s service in this dispensation

Requires that man should work with Him;

Thus God and man in close relation

And joint dependence work therein.

It is not God Himself to labor

Nor man to try to serve alone

But God and man to work together

Each moment that His plan be shown.

The principle of incarnation

To all our work we must apply

To all our gift and operation

That we as one may serve thereby.
