The humanity of Jesus Now the saints must possess, His true image and dominion On the earth to express. (Chorus:) Let us stand up in Jesus In His full human life, Human virtues prevailing 'Gainst corruption so rife; In this wickedness concerted, In this age perverse, perverted, The humanity of Jesus Must the church now display. 2. Lo, how Satan came to damage Human life on the earth; But the Lord in all this ruin Raised a man full of worth! From the seed of the woman God incarnated became The man Jesus—the last Adam— To destroy Satan's aim! 3.

To the Lord we must be turning, All our soul life deny, To destroy all Satan's working And the new man supply. (Chorus:) Let us stand up in Jesus In His full human life, Human virtues prevailing 'Gainst corruption so rife; In this wickedness concerted, In this age perverse, perverted, The humanity of Jesus Must the church now display. 4. See the ruin of a nation Going downward in sin; All humanity is fallen And corrupted within. But as children of the kingdom
