Tune: Church Triumphant
(\'The Lord is King, lift up thy voice\')
Hebrews 2 v.9 & v.14-18
*******
Children of God, they flesh and blood
So Jesus too partook, He would
Share in the same, [He] divine, human
Came from heaven, the Father\'s Son
He now crowned with honour, glory
For He did by grace of God, see
Taste death, for every one too free
All from our sin\'s captivity
So partaking of flesh and blood
He through death He did do great good
That He might destroy him who had
The power of death, made man sad
That is the devil, he who held
That power, by Christ now is felled
And so He delivers them who
Through fear of death were bounden true
For truly He took not nature
Of angels on Him, but for sure
Took on Him seed of Abraham
Nature of every human man
And so He had to be like made
To us, for He our price has paid
He took our sins, He merciful
And faithful high priest unto all
This in things pertaining to God
When He upon this earth He trod
He made reconciliation
For the sins of all, each nation
For in that he Himself suffered
Being tempted, now has offered
His help to us, His succour, aid
When we tempted, be on Him staid
