Unveiled as kinsman, Love did seek...

Unveiled as kinsman, Love did seek His wandering brethren, Jew and Greek. (That God made man in His own image Did human life of our God fore-speak).

Nor mask nor vesture was His mien By man and angels wistly seen, Nor filmy veil, nor apparition, God's human life as the Nazarene.

A man the Christ of God earth trod, And showed to man, and worlds abroad, The holy, good, and sorrowing Father, Atoning love, and the heart of God.
