But you are Divinity,
bound by the chains of humanity.
God made man,
...and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us...
might contained
in frailty,
restrained by a form
...and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father...
taken willingly, lovingly,
eyes fixed on eternity.
And all you are,
...he made himself nothing...
all your glory,
constrained
in the very jars of clay
...by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness...
you formed.
Bound only by
your Word and Will.
...he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross.
---
Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and donkeys are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spears shall pierce him through,
the cross he bore for me, for you.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
the Babe, the Son of Mary.

Firman itu sudah menjadi manusia dan tinggal antara kita. Kita nampak kemuliaan-Nya, kemuliaan yang diterima-Nya sebagai anak tunggal Bapa. Melalui Dia, kasih Allah dan Allah sendiri ditunjukkan kepada kita.
Yohanes 1:14
