Incarnation
The light and word and wisdom
Of Deity on high
Became a common baby
To wake us with his cry.
Through need he learned obedience
And trust and truth and grace
Till those who gazed intently
Saw glory in his face.
His path of crucifixion
Proclaimed a God whose reign
Can carry for his children
Their guilt and grief and pain.
To resurrection’s riddle
The mystery’s now made known
That with God’s great Messiah
We’re called to share his throne.
This chosen man of suffering
Through whom God’s life is poured
Has thus become our Icon,
Our Pattern and our Lord.
