feeble flesh assumes

feeble flesh assumes

Here is the verse by Samuel Stennett that I used as benediction in our services yesterday.

What wisdom, majesty and grace

Through all the Gospel shine!

’Tis God that speaks, and we confess

The doctrine most divine.

Down from His starry throne on high,

Th’almighty Savior comes;

Lays His bright robes of glory by,

And feeble flesh assumes.

The mighty debt that sinners owed,

Upon the cross He pays;

Then through the clouds ascends to God,

’Midst shouts of loftiest praise.

There He, our great High Priest, appears,

Before His Father’s throne;

Mingles His merits with our tears,

And pours salvation down.

Samuel Stennett
