86
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!
