O Lord, as we consider Thee,
|
|
| 1. | O Lord, as we consider Thee, |
| | We worship Thee for all Thou art; |
| | Thou art so rich, so wonderful, |
| | So dear and precious to our heart. |
| | What Thou art meets our every need! |
| | Our hearts o'erflow with praise to Thee! |
| | All our desires Thou dost exceed |
| | And satisfy continually. |
| 2. | Thou art the -very God in truth, |
| | The God who is both love and light; The God |
| | who is to us our life, |
| | The God in whom we, all delight. |
| 3. | Thou also art a man indeed, |
| | A man so fine, so good, so pure; |
| | A man in whom our God delights, |
| | A man who can our love secure. |
| 4. | Thou even art a lowly slave, |
| | A slave of God to serve for us; |
| | Obedient to the cross's death |
| | That we might be delivered thus. |
| 5. | Thou art, beside all these, a King, |
| | A King in life and love to reign, |
| | By God anointed with His pow'r |
| | To rule with us in His domain. |
| 6. | Dear Lord, as we remember Thee, |
| | We thus partake of all Thou art; |
| | As we enjoy Thyself in love, |
| | We share Thee as Thy counterpart. |
