What honours shall thy Son adorn, Who condescended to be born? 4 See him below his angels made! Behold him number'd with the dead, To save a ruin'd world from sin; But he shall reign with power divine. 5 The world to come, redeem'd from all The miseries that attend the fall, New made, and glorious, shall submit At our exalted Saviour's feet.
