Hymns on the Trinity, 88

Lo, like one of Us the man
Is daringly become,
To himself with effort vain
Doth Deity assume,
Claims a knowledge of his own,
And boldly with his Maker vies:
Is Jehovah wise alone?
The creature too is wise.

Absolute, as one he were
Of the mysterious three,
Fallen man aspires to share
Our independency:
Now he good and evil knows,
As all by right Divine were his,
All unto himself he owes,
His own sufficient bliss.
