tune:  LSB#900, Gott sei Dank;  or  Vienna

 

Very nature of true God

Who, upon our soil has trod,

did not grasp equality -

He became a man, like me.

 

Christ took on the servant form,

Humbled Himself, to perform

and obey the Father's will

All the way to Cal'vry's hill.

 

By His death upon the cross

We gained riches at His loss.

God exalted Him, the Christ,

For His gracious sacrifice.

 

Jesus! Name of wondrous love

Name all other names above,

Unto which must every knee

Bow in deep humility.

 

Let your mind be just like Christ's

Willing service;  sacrifice;

Living blameless;  loving;  true;

God works both to will and do.
