Glory Unveiled

What more of His goodness may be seen

Than that which He has revealed

For He once clothed Himself with dust

And by so doing His glory unveiled

That His eternal robe of glory He would lay down,

That for a while he would take off His crown

And wear this flesh that we too wear

With muscles, skin, and teeth and hair

This is a treasured mystery

That He Himself a Man would be

That Eternal Glory would stoop so low

To be born of a woman and know

The frailties of this human flesh

To awaken to sunrises and to refresh

With the coolness of water from a well

And with us filthy sinners dwell

He who is eternally void of woe

Did volunteer to suffer so

That we from sin might be set free

To know Him & enjoy Him, now and for eternity
