Hymn 343 — "Lord, what is man?" 'Tis Christ who died,
| 343 | J. G. DECK (1807-1884) | 8.8.8.8.8.8. |
| 1 |
"Lord, what is man?" 'Tis Christ who died, And all Thy nature glorified; Thy righteousness and grace displayed When He for sins atonement made; Obedient unto death, was slain -- Worthy is He o'er all to reign! | |
| 2 |
Thy counsels ere the world began All centred in the Son of man; Head of the church His destined place, Thy glory radiant in His face. To Him, enthroned in majesty, Let every creature bend the knee! | |
| 3 |
Worthy, O Son of man, art Thou Of every crown that decks Thy brow; Worthy art Thou to be adored And owned as universal Lord; O hasten that long-promised day When all shall own Thy rightful sway! | |
