Gerhard van Honthorst (1590-1656) Let earth and heaven combine, Angels and men agree, To praise, in songs divine, The incarnate Deity; Our God contracted to a span, Incomprehensibly made by man. He laid his glory by, And wrapped him in our clay; Unmarked by human eye, The latent Godhead lay; Infant of Days he here became, And bore the loved Immanuel's name. Unsearchable the love That has the Saviour brought; The grace is far above Or man's or angel's thought; Suffice for us, that God we know, Our God was manifest below! Charles Wesley
