O soul-inspiring story— God’s majesty and grace In lustrous strokes of glory Deep-carved in Jesus’ face! Hearts rapt in contemplation Of Godhead’s Image bright, Break forth in adoration, In wonder and delight! |

There Manhood, all perfection, And Godhead-fulness shine; God’s love and Man’s affection, The human, the divine; A life, a death, transcendent, Revealing God as love: Here, lowly Man, dependent— God over all, above! |

Unsullied blaze of glory! O ever-radiant Face! Thy rich, unfathomed story Transfigures us in grace! Made like Thee, soon, completely, With love-lit eyes we’ll scan God’s face unveiled so sweetly In Thine, Thou Son of man! |
