Thou madest Him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst Him with glory and honor, and didst set Him over the works of Thy hands: Thou hast put all things in subjection under His feet. For in that He put all in subjection under Him, He left nothing that is not put under Him. But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every man. (Heb. 2:7‑9) |
Though angels may with rapture see How mercy flows in Jesus’ blood, It is not theirs to prove, as we, The cleansing virtue of this flood. |
Though angels praise the heavenly King, And Him their Lord adoring own, We can with exultation sing, “He wears our nature on the throne.” |
