Though Thou art God, most glorious, high,
|
|
| 1. | Though Thou art God, most glorious, high, |
| | Thou in the flesh to us came nigh, |
| | A lowly man become thereby; |
| | Lord, I remember Thee! |
| 2. | Glory divine was put away |
| | Under the tent of flesh to stay, |
| | No outward beauty to display; |
| | Lord, I remember Thee! |
| 3. | Thou art a root from out dry ground, |
| | Thou wast the Man of sorrows found, |
| | Hated, despised by man around; |
| | Lord, I remember Thee! |
| 4. | Gentle and lowly is Thy heart, |
| | Willing to suffer all Thou art, |
| | To God and man complaining not; |
| | Lord, I remember Thee! |
| 5. | Thou as a man art tender, sweet, |
| | Balanced in every way, complete, |
| | Meal-offering to the Father meet; |
| | Lord, I remember Thee! |
| 6. | Doing the Father's will Thy prize, |
| | Never accepting Satan's lies, |
| | None like Thyself, so faithful, wise; |
| | Lord, I remember Thee! |
| 7. | For Thine obedience to God's will, |
| | Willing to suffer deathly ill, |
| | E'en on the Cross my place to fill, |
| | Lord, I remember Thee! |
| 8. | Therefore hath God exalted Thee, |
| | Given Thee glory, majesty, |
| | Heaven and earth will bow the knee; |
| | Lord, I worship Thee! |
