In the Testament of old

See th' acacia wood with gold;

Such humanity behold!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,

praise the Lord!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Lord, may Thy humanity

Permeate us thoroughly,

Drawing many men to Thee —

Amen, Lord! Amen, Lord! Amen, Lord!
