Luke 1:51: His arm the' almighty Father bared

His arm the' almighty Father bared
When God in Christ Himself declared
Our Saviour from above;
Deliverer of a sinful race,
He show'd the world in Jesus' face
His utmost power of love.

The mystery of Jehovah's birth
Confounds us potsherds of the earth.
Of sin and misery proud;
It scatters every lofty thought,
And man is humbled into nought
Before an emptied God.

The meek humiHty Divine
Shall heal this pride-sick soul of mine,
This plague incurable:
Now, Jesus, now Thy power exert,
And with Thy lowhness of heart
In mine for ever dwell.
