| 1 | The principle of incarnation |
| | | Is but the blend of God and man, |
| | Both acting in cooperation |
| | | To thus fulfill th’ eternal plan. |
| 2 | To God, the man is His expression, |
| | | And man is of God’s life possessed; |
| | The man is wholly God’s possession, |
| | | And God thru man is thus expressed. |
| 3 | Redemption is accomplished fully |
| | | In man, God’s wisdom thus to show; |
| | Salvation is expounded wholly |
| | | By man, that all creation know. |
| 4 | God’s service in this dispensation |
| | | Requires that man should work with Him; |
| | Thus God and man in close relation |
| | | And joint dependence work therein. |
| 5 | It is not God Himself to labor, |
| | | Nor man to try to serve alone, |
| | But God and man to work together |
| | | Each moment that His plan be shown. |
| 6 | The principle of incarnation |
| | | To all our work we must apply, |
| | To all our gift and operation, |
| | | That we as one may serve thereby. |
