The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#247

247. O Son of God Incarnate

1 O Son of God incarnate,
O Son of man divine!
In whom God’s glory dwelleth,
In whom man’s virtues shine;
God’s light to earth Thou bringest
To drive sin’s night away,
And through Thy life so radiant,
Earth’s darkness turns to day.

2 O Mind of God incarnate,
O Thought in flesh enshrined!
In human form Thou speakest
To men the Father’s mind:
God’s thought to earth Thou bringest
That men in Thee may see
What God is like, and seeing,
Think God’s tho'ts after Thee.

3 O Heart of God incarnate,
Love-bearer to mankind!
From Thee we learn what love is,
In Thee love’s ways we find:
God’s love to earth Thou bringest
In living deeds that prove
How sweet to serve all others,
When we all others love.

4 O Will of God incarnate,
So human, so divine!
Free wills to us Thou givest,
That we may make them Thine:
Gods’ will to earth Thou bringest
That all who would obey,
May learn from Thee their duty,
The truth, the life, the way.

AMEN.
