Hymns on the Trinity, 42
From Hymns on the Trinity (1767) · Osborn ed., vol. 7 (1870)
The lower part of Christ, the heel,
Was bruised, and did our sorrows feel;
But though He would His life resign,
His part superior is Divine,
And doth, beyond the reach of pain,
God over all for ever reign.
Great Fountain-head of Deity,
Father of Christ, we worship Thee,
Thy sovereign majesty maintain
As greater than the Son of man;
Yet Thee, O Christ, of God the Son,
In essence, substance, nature One,
Thy Father's equal we proclaim
With God eternally the same.
