 1 

Lord, accept our feeble song!

Pow'r and praise to Thee belong;

We would all Thy grace record,

Holy, gracious, loving Lord!

 
 2 

Rich in glory, Thou didst stoop,

Thence is all Thy people's hope;

Thou wast poor, that we might be

Rich in glory, Lord, with Thee.

 
 3 

Wherefore Thou high heaven didst spurn?

Wherefore Thou to earth didst turn?

Why leave heav'n to come to earth

Lonely, scorned, e'en suffering death?

 
 4 

Thou in heav'n — the glorious One!

Thou on earth — the outcast Man!

Though this suffering Thou didst know,

Love would come to bear our woe.

 
 5 

When we think of love like this,

Joy and shame our hearts possess;

Joy, that Thou couldst pity thus;

Shame, for such returns from us.

 
 6 

Yet we hope the day to see

When from every hindrance free,

When to Thee, in glory, brought,

We shall serve Thee as we ought.

 
 7 

Now, O Lord, we wait for Thee,

Wait "the blessed hope" to see.

May we ever for Thee live,

Till Thy saints Thou dost receive.
