Text: | True God and Yet a Man |
Tune: | DIVINE PARADOX |
Composer: | J. Dowland, c. 1563-1626 |
1 True God and yet a Man?
True maid and yet a mother?
Thought wonders how thought can
Conceive one or the other.
2 A God and can He die?
A dead Man, can He live?
What can thought well reply?
What reason reason give?
3 God, truth itself does teach;
Our thoughts sink too far under
For reason's pow'r to reach.
Believe and leave to wonder!
