Pleas'd as Man with Men t'appear Jesus our Emmanuel here Hail the Heav'n-born Prince of Peace Hail the Son of Righteousness! Light and Life around he brings Ris'n with Healing in his Wings Mild he lays his Glory by Born that Men no more may die; Born to raise the Sons of Earth Born to give them second Birth Come, Desire of Nations, come Fix in us thy heav'nly Home; Rise the Woman's conqu'ring Seed Bruise in us the Serpent's Head Adam's Likeness now efface Stamp thy Image in its Place; Second Adam from above Work it in us by thy Love
