1  Though Thou art God, most glorious, high,

    Thou in the flesh to us came nigh,

    A lowly man become thereby;

       Lord, I remember Thee!

 2  Glory divine was put away

    Under the tent of flesh to stay,

    No outward beauty to display;

       Lord, I remember Thee!

 3  Thou art a root from out dry ground,

    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!

 5  Thou as a man art tender, sweet,

    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!

 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!

 8  Therefore hath God exalted Thee,

    Given Thee glory, majesty,

    Heaven and earth will bow the knee;

       O Lord, I worship Thee!
