Phil 2:6-12
6 Ye who the name of Jesus bear,
his sacred steps pursue;
And let that mind which was in him
be also found in you.
2 Though in the form of God he was,
his only Son declar’d,
Nor to be equally ador’d
as robb’ry did regard;
7 His greatness he for us abas’d,
for us his glory vail’d;
In human likeness dwelt on earth,
his majesty conceal’d:
8-9 Nor only as a man appears,
but stoops a servant low;
Submits to death, nay, bears the cross,
in all its shame and woe.
9 5 Hence God this gen’rous love to men
with honours just hath crown’d,
And rais’d the name of Jesus far
above all names renown’d:
10-12 That at this name, with sacred awe,
each humble knee should bow,
Of hosts immortal in the skies,
and nations spread below:
7 That all the prostrate pow’rs of hell
might tremble at his word,
And ev’ry tribe, and ev’ry tongue,
confess that he is Lord.
