“Fairer than all the earth-born race,
Perfect in comeliness Thou art;
Replenished are Thy lips with grace
And full of love Thy tender heart.
God ever blest, we bow the knee
And own all fullness dwells in Thee.”
“Lord of the heavens, Sovereign, Son Forever!
Lord of the earth, Creator, Increate!
Come in the likeness of our flesh, but never
Tarnished by taint of sin, inviolate.
Come to destroy the power of death, and sever
Man from its terror in His mercy great;
O let us kneel before Him! let us own Him
King of our hearts, and on that throne enthrone Him.”
