| 1. | In the Testament of old |
| | See th' acacia wood with gold; |
| | Such humanity behold! |
| | Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, |
| | praise the Lord! |
| 2. | Jesus is th' acacia wood- |
| | What a man, so fine and good! |
| | All corruption, He withstood- |
| | Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, |
| | praise the Lord! |
| 3. | Jesus, wisdom of God's plan, |
| | Son of God and Son of Man; |
| | A new manhood, He began- |
| | Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, |
| | praise the Lord! |
| 4. | For since by the one came death, |
| | By this man came living breath; |
| | Man the Lord recovereth- |
| | Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, |
| | praise the Lord! |
| 5. | Types and shadows to us show |
| | Jesus is the man to know. |
| | Now this man in us must grow- |
| | Amen Lord! Amen Lord! Amen, Lord! |
| 6. | Lord, may Thy humanity |
| | Permeate us thoroughly, |
| | Drawing many men to Thee- |
| | Amen Lord! Amen Lord! Amen, Lord! |
