The principle of incarnation

   Is but the blend of God and man,

Both acting in cooperation

   To thus fulfill th' eternal plan.

 2 

To God, the man in His expression,

   And man is of God's life possessed;

The man is wholly God's possession,

   And God thru man is thus expressed.

 3 

Redemption is accomplished fully

   In man, God's wisdom thus to show;

Salvation is expounded wholly

   By man, that all creation know.

 4 

God's service in this dispensation

   Requires that man should work with Him;

Thus God and man in close relation

   And joint dependence work therein.

 5 

It is not God Himself to labor,

   Nor man to try to serve alone,

But God and man to work together

   Each moment that His plan be shown.

 6 

The principle of incarnation

   To all our work we must apply,

To all our gift and operation,

   That we as one may serve thereby.
