St. Ephrem again - really gotta love this guy:
Praise to Him who descended to us in human form!
Praise to the Invisible One who became visible for our sake!
Praise to the Eternal One who tasted death for us!
Praise to the Mysterious One whom no mind can comprehend, and who through His grace made Himself manifest by taking on flesh!
Blessed is He whose good will brought Him to His mother's womb and bosom, to be born and reared!
Blessed is He who partook of death and thus granted life to mankind!
Blessed is He who made our flesh a dwelling place for His mysterious being!
Blessed is He who declared to us His mysteries in our own tongue!
Praise to Him who liberated us, having been bound for our sake!
Glory to Him who is plenteous in mercy, who has redeemed us without taking anything in return!
Praise to the Judge who accepted condemnation for our sake!
(A Spiritual Psalter, #118)
