O Lord, Thou art the Son of man,
Our human nature Thou didst take;
Begotten of a virgin true,
Of flesh and blood Thou didst partake.

In bondman’s form, with lowliness,
Thou walkedst on this earth of woe;
The human living Thou didst have
And all its suff’rings undergo.

Born in a manger as a babe,
Thou wast a child among the poor;
Thou as a carpenter didst work,
And e’en an outlaw’s death endure.

Then Thou wast raised up from the dead,
Still with the human nature true;
And as a man in form divine,
Thou didst ascend to heaven too.

Now over all, and on the throne,
Thou, still a man, art glorified;
A man with God in light divine
With whom our God is satisfied.

In glory Thou wilt come again,
Still as a man appearing then;
As King of kings, with pow’r divine,
With human nature seen by men.

In the new heav’n and earth shalt be,
Forever as the One divine,
Existing in humanity.

The Son of Man
In Revelation 1:13-18, Christ is presented as the Son of Man. Christ as the Son of Man, in all that He is and does, is for our experience and enjoyment. In Revelation, Christ—the all-inclusive, excellent, wonderful, mysterious, and awesome One—is revealed as the Son of Man in chapter 1 and as the Son of God in chapter 2. In Revelation 1:13, Christ is not only described as a High Priest, as His garments denote, but He is also revealed as one like the Son of Man. He is divine as well as human. As our High Priest, He cares for the churches in His humanity.
Christ as the Son of Man not only accomplished redemption, but also takes care of the church life, because the church is composed of human beings. The fact that the Lord is still the Son of man after ascending indicates that He did not cast off His human nature after the resurrection. He acts in the churches based on His humanity. In His humanity, He upheld the testimony of God in a completely victorious and successful way. The churches, too, being composed of human beings, can undoubtedly uphold the testimony of God in the same victorious and successful way.

Message 406 (LSM)
In His Humanity
In His humanity Christ is the Son of Man. Because the Lord Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit, He is the Son of God. Because He was born of a human virgin, He is the Son of Man. On the divine side, He is the Son of God; on the human side, He is the Son of Man. To accomplish God’s purpose, it was necessary for Christ to become a man. Without man, God’s purpose cannot be carried out on earth.

Just to say that this tune is known as FULDA in case any keyboard players are searching for the sheet music to go with the words.
