|  | 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. |
