Though Thou art God, most glorious, high,
Thou in the flesh to us came nigh,
A lowly man become thereby;
Lord, I remember Thee!
Thou in the flesh to us came nigh,
A lowly man become thereby;
Lord, I remember Thee!

Glory divine was put away
Under the tent of flesh to stay,
No outward beauty to display;
Lord, I remember Thee!
Under the tent of flesh to stay,
No outward beauty to display;
Lord, I remember Thee!

Thou art a root from out dry ground,
Thou wast the Man of sorrows found,
Hated, despised by man around;
Lord, I remember Thee!
Thou wast the Man of sorrows found,
Hated, despised by man around;
Lord, I remember Thee!
4
Gentle and lowly is Thy heart,
Willing to suffer all Thou art,
To God and man complaining not;
Lord, I remember Thee!
Willing to suffer all Thou art,
To God and man complaining not;
Lord, I remember Thee!
5
Thou as a man art tender, sweet,
Balanced in every way, complete,
Meal-offering to the Father meet;
Lord, I remember Thee!
Balanced in every way, complete,
Meal-offering to the Father meet;
Lord, I remember Thee!
6
Doing the Father’s will Thy prize,
Never accepting Satan’s lies,
None like Thyself, so faithful, wise;
Lord, I remember Thee!
Never accepting Satan’s lies,
None like Thyself, so faithful, wise;
Lord, I remember Thee!
7
For Thine obedience to God’s will,
Willing to suffer deathly ill,
E’en on the Cross my place to fill,
Lord, I remember Thee!
Willing to suffer deathly ill,
E’en on the Cross my place to fill,
Lord, I remember Thee!
8
Therefore hath God exalted Thee,
Given Thee glory, majesty,
Heaven and earth will bow the knee;
O Lord, I worship Thee!
Given Thee glory, majesty,
Heaven and earth will bow the knee;
O Lord, I worship Thee!

Philippians 2:5-11
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross. Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Praise the Lord!!

Every time I have trouble in my life, I think about this hymn. When I look unto Jesus and see His God-man living, I have no more complaints on my situation. Instead of looking into myself and try to console myself, I learned to look unto, see, and worship Jesus in every situation.
What a Father-Son-Spirit Triune God-man! His life is perfect, so God has full grounds to raise Him. Praise the Lord for "this One" who is resurrected, ascended, and now lives in my spirit!

I like this song because it tells me what kind of person Jesus is: gentle and lowly is His heart, tender sweet, balanced in every way, complete, no outward beauty to display, and faithful, wise to the Father's will. And thus God exalted Him, given Him glory and majesty.
Amen, I love such a Christ, I worship Him.
