| 1. | What a victory! What a triumph! |
| | God Himself became a man, |
| | Clothed Himself in human nature |
| | To fulfill His mighty plan. |
| | He through death destroyed the devil; |
| | Risen now, the Son of Man! |
| 2. | Jesus by His human virtues |
| | Did the subtle one arrest; |
| | He as man withstood the tempter, |
| | Fully passed through every test. |
| | Now in spirit I can take Him, |
| | All His virtues to possess. |
| 3. | In the Spirit of this Jesus |
| | Is His human life so fine. |
| | Human virtues have been added |
| | To the Spirit all divine. |
| | What abundance in this Spirit, |
| | Rich supply for all mankind! |
| 4. | How mysterious! Yet how real! |
| | Such a man now lives in me. |
| | Into all my heart He's spreading- |
| | He, my human life, to be. |
| | Hallelujah! Hallelujah! |
| | I will praise unceasingly. |
| 5. | Oh, what wonder! Oh, how glorious! |
| | God in flesh is manifest. |
| | We the members of His Body |
| | His humanity express. |
| | For the building of God's dwelling |
| | We His human life possess. |
