2 Thou in the glorious Form of God, Before all Worlds indeed, Most splendently O thou didst shine, And nothing didst thou need:
3 And yet thy love to us was such, Thou for us becamest poor, That we through thy great Poverty Might all have Riches store.
3 And yet thy love to us was such, Thou for us becam'st poor, That we through thy great Poverty Might all have Riches store.
4 We never can to thee express Our Thanks sufficiently, Who in our stead, and for our sakes A shameful death didst die.
5 The Wrath and Curse that was our due, O Lord, thou didst endure; And in the Grave, O thou didst lye, Our freedom to procure.
