1. O soul-inspiring story ��
  God's majesty and grace
  In lustrous strokes of glory
  Deep-carved in Jesus' face!
  Hearts rapt in contemplation
  Of Godhead's Image bright,
  Break forth in adoration,
  In wonder and delight!
  
2. There Manhood, all perfection,
  And Godhead-fulness shine;
  God's love and Man's affection,
  The human, the divine;
  A life, a death, transcendent,
  Revealing God as love:
  Here, lowly Man, dependent ��
  God over all, above!
  
3. Unsullied blaze of glory!
  O ever-radiant Face!
  Thy rich, unfathomed story
  Transfigures us in grace!
  Made like Thee, soon, completely,
  With love-lit eyes we'll scan
  God's face unveiled so sweetly
  In Thine, Thou Son of man!
