Lord, Thou art the "Seed of woman,"
|
|
| 1. | Lord, Thou art the "Seed of woman," |
| | Born to bruise the enemy; |
| | Thou didst take the human nature, |
| | Die to win the victory. |
| | As the very God incarnate, |
| | Flesh and blood Thou didst partake; |
| | Thou thru death hast crushed the devil |
| | And his pow'r of death didst break. |
| 2. | "Seed of Abraham," Thou art, Lord, |
| | By God's promise Thou hast come, |
| | That the blessing He hath promised |
| | On all people thus might come. |
| | Abraham Thou hast preceded, |
| | For.Thou art the great "I AM," |
| | Yet Thou cam'st to be his offspring |
| | And become God's promised "Lamb." |
| 3. | Lord, Thou art the "Seed of David," |
| | For the kingdom Thou wast raised; |
| | For God's glory and His building |
| | On the throne Thou hast been placed. |
| | Truly Thou art "David's offspring," |
| | Yet "my Lord" he calleth Thee, |
| | For Thou art his "root" and fountain, |
| | "Lord of all" eternally. |
| 4. | Though "a child" born with our nature, |
| | Thou the "Mighty God" art called; |
| | Thou, "a son." to us art given, |
| | "Everlasting Father" called. |
| | All the blessings God hath promised, |
| | With our faith on Thee depend; |
| | Thou art "Yea" and "Amen" for them, |
| | All the content and the end! |
