The Son replied, “I will:

A feeble body I will take;

This body men shall kill.”

Father, how great thy love to man,

To send thy Son from high!

How great thy love, O glorious Son,

To come, and bleed, and die!


LESSON XII.
THE VIRGIN MARY.
Luke, i. 26-55.

God told Adam and Eve that he would send his Son down some day to die for them. But Adam and Eve did not love God; for they were grown wicked.
