This is another hymn that touches slightly on the incarnation but quickly moves to the cross. It is No 55 and is headed Christ's humility.
From that bright world where seraphs join
In songs and services divine
Where streams of purest pleasure flow
Jesus descends and dwells below
2 No glittering gems his robes adorn
He meets with cruelty and scorn
He loads of guilt and sorrow bears
Is bathed in sweat and blood and tears
3 Exposed his people long had been
To sin and wrath and endless pain
But lo he dies to set them free
Oh could I say he died for me.
