Outcast and downtrodden
Were drawn in and uplifted
By the compassionate Man.
Sorrows, sinfulness, rejection
Bore on the spirit
Of the suffering Man.
Yet beyond man's sight, God
Delighted in the lineaments
Of the heavenly Man.
Man's coarseness roughed Him up;
God's justice smote Him,
The crucified Man.
But God ensured by His servants
The care of the body
Of the incorruptible Man
Till as sign of God's favour
His brethren beheld
The risen Man.
Heaven acclaimed,
As He passed through in triumph,
The ascended Man.
Lord Jesus, come!
Our hearts are longing for Thee,
The coming Man.
