The Incarnate God. Isa. 7. 14; Matt. 1. 23

1 Let earth and heaven combine,
  Angels and men agree,
  To praise, in songs divine,
  The incarnate Deity;
  Our God contracted to a span,
  Incomprehensibly made man.

2 He laid his glory by,
  And wrapped him in our clay;
  Unmarked by human eye,
  The latent Godhead lay;
  Infant of Days he here became,
  And bore the loved Immanuel’s name.

3 Unsearchable the love
  That has the Saviour brought;
  The grace is far above
  Or man’s or angel’s thought;
  Suffice for us, that God we know,
  Our God, was manifest below!
