1 Kings 8:27: He did: the King invisible
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
He did: the King invisible,
Jehovah, once on earth did dwell.
And laid His majesty aside:
Whom all His heavens cannot contain,
For us He lived, a mournful man,
For us a painful death He died!
Still the great God resides below,
(And all His faithful people know
He will not from His church depart,)
The Father, Son, and Spirit dwells,
His kingdom in the poor reveals.
And fills with heaven the humble heart.
