Vol 02 - He Dwelt Among Us

He Dwelt Among Us " And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us." John 1:14.He " dwelt among us," and we saw, Though veiled in human guise, The mighty God, the Prince of Peace.

Omnipotent, All-Wise;

He who upholds the universe, And all its need supplies.He " dwelt among us," and we saw His power to raise the dead; That mighty power of old displayed, At which the darkness fled:

He spake, ’twas done! and death itself, His high behest obeyed.He " dwelt among us," and we saw His pity to the poor; His kindness to the fatherless, His help where sorrow bore;

Dispensing freely as He went, His precious heavenly store.He " dwelt among us," and we saw In Him the Man of Prayer;

Upon His God and Father, too, He roll’d His every care;

Content, whatever was His will, To suffer and to bear.He " dwelt among us," and we saw Perfection in His mien;

Yea, perfect grace, and truth, and love, In Him were ever seen:

Unmoved and undismayed, He passed Through Calvary’s tragic scene.He " dwelt among us," and subdued The powers of death and hell; And now He’s gone again to heaven, And O, with rapture tell,- He’ll shortly come to take us home. That we with Him may dwell.
