Let earth and heaven combine

- Let earth and heaven combine,
- angels and men agree,
- to praise in songs divine,
- the incarnate Deity,
- our God contracted to a span,
- incomprehensibly made man.
- He laid His glory by,
- He wrapped Him in our clay;
- unmarked by human eye,
- the latent Godhead lay;
- infant of days He here became,
- and bore the mild Immanuel‟s Name.
- Unsearchable the love
- that hath the Saviour brought;
- the grace is far above
- or man or angel‟s thought:
- suffice for us that God, we know,
- our God, is manifest below.
- He deigns in flesh to appear,
- widest extremes to join;
- to bring our vileness near,
- and make us all divine:
- and we the life of God shall know,
- for God is manifest below.
- Made perfect by His love,
- and sanctified by grace,
- we shall from earth remove,
- and see His glorious face:
- then shall His love be fully showed,
- and man shall then be lost in God. ......
