(Tune: Hymns, #1100) 1. Long before man fell in Adam God eternal had a plan, Made according to His heart's love, To expand Himself in man. 'Tis for this He made creation-- Man would be His duplication! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! In His image we were made! 2. All creation has a pattern; Everything is by its kind. Fish and birds and cattle all fit; Many similar we find. Man alone is the exception-- He was made as God's reflection! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! We're according to God's kind! 3. With God's image and His likeness, Man is like a little god; Three of one kind spoke together In the garden where they trod. Yet man lacked his very kernel-- To be born of life eternal. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! For God's life we were designed! 4. To accomplish His great purpose God Himself took on the flesh. The first God-man, He's the model; Human and divine life mesh. God and man now blent together, Human and divine forever. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! God and man were joined in one! 5. Resurrection brought forth God-men, Many grains from His one seed, Just like Him in life and nature-- God was multiplied indeed! Now the man of God's creation Shares His life--what jubilation! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! We've become the God-men true!
