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.
