And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death, even death on a cross.

TraditionalHymn to Christ the Savior
Shepherd of tender youth, guiding in love and truth through devious ways. Christ, our triumphant King, we come Your name to sing and here our children bring, to shout Your praise. You are our holy Lord, the all-subduing Word, Healer of strife. Yourself did first come down through love's own deepest frown, that from sin's depth we'd be drawn to You, eternal life.
St. Clement of Alexandria (d. ~215)
Church FatherAdoro Te Devote
Humbly I adore You, hidden Deity, which beneath these figures are concealed from me. Wholly in submission I resign my heart. To contemplate You, all my sight falls short. Taste and touch and vision to discern You fail, but to hear You, faith alone will best avail. I believe whatever God's own Son has said; nothing can be truer than the Truthful's Word. On the Cross was hidden but Your deity; here is hidden also Your humanity. Both of these I do confess and believe, and I ask for what the dying thief received.
St. Thomas Aquinas (d. 1274)
SaintCanticle of the Sun
Most High, all powerful, good Lord, Yours are the praises, the glory, the honor, and all blessing. To You alone, Most High, do they belong, and no one is worthy to mention Your name. Praised be You, my Lord, with all Your creatures, especially Sir Brother Sun, who is the day, and through whom You give us light. And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendor, and bears a likeness of You, Most High One. Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars. In heaven You formed them clear and precious and beautiful. Praise and bless my Lord, and give Him thanks, and serve Him with great humility.
St. Francis of Assisi, Canticle of the Creatures (1225)
SaintThe Magnificat
My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. For He has looked with favor on the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed. For the Mighty One has done great things for me. Holy is His name. His mercy extends to those who fear Him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with His arm; He has scattered those who are proud in the thoughts of their hearts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones, but has exalted the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things, but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful.
Luke 1:46-55 (BSB)
