Though Thou art God, most glorious, high,
Thou in the flesh to us came nigh,
A lowly man become thereby;
Lord, I remember Thee!

A lowly man become thereby;
Lord, I remember Thee!

Glory divine was put away
Under the tent of flesh to stay,
No outward beauty to display;
Lord, I remember Thee!

Thou art a root from out dry ground,
Thou wast the Man of sorrows found,
Hated, despised by man around;
Lord, I remember Thee!

Willing to suffer all Thou art,
To God and man complaining not;

Balanced in every way, complete,
Meal-offering to the Father meet;

Never accepting Satan’s lies,
None like Thyself, so faithful, wise;

Praise the Lord, You are my pattern of emptying, humility, obedience, submission... I need to have this pattern infused into me.
For thirty-three and a half years the Lord lived a perfect life. He never claimed His right over anything or anyone. He divested Himself of His position in every situation even through death. He was humble! Oh Lord I worship Thee!

The Son willingly emptied Himself to become a created man as the representation of submission to authority.

This hymn focuses us on the wonderful Person and living of the Lord Jesus. It is full of rich nourishment! By musing and feeding on all the details of our Lord virtuous living we're supplied to live such a normal Christian life.

Philippians 2:5-11
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Who, existing in the form of God, did not consider being equal with God a treasure to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming in the likeness of men; and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming obedient even unto death, and that the death of a cross. Therefore also God highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Praise the Lord!!
