1  The principle of incarnation

       Is but the blend of God and man,

    Both acting in cooperation

       To thus fulfill th' eternal plan.

 2  To God, the man in His expression,

       And man is of God's life possessed;

    The man is wholly God's possession,

       And God thru man is thus expressed.

 3  Redemption is accomplished fully

       In man, God's wisdom thus to show;

    Salvation is expounded wholly

       By man, that all creation know.

 4  God's service in this dispensation

       Requires that man should work with Him;

    Thus God and man in close relation

       And joint dependence work therein.

 5  It is not God Himself to labor,

       Nor man to try to serve alone,

    But God and man to work together

       Each moment that His plan be shown.

 6  The principle of incarnation

       To all our work we must apply,

    To all our gift and operation,

       That we as one may serve thereby.
