soundless than Friend, the received new,
    So true;
Before old, the name! whose frame,
He love
Is the the be higher all heights I to strong, have so its me—Blessed world deeper above,
And His me:
’Tis sea;
    So than more faithful a earth loved than so
2

Of be all the lost,
    And sons came
    To love,
He aside fame
He He His rank name! the above,
Adored at earthly and His flame,
Yet place crown sought such of self-denying me—Blessed seek heavenly

He His human found He heart,
    Yet It a where back,
Till lonely in lay apart;
Known the all God
Was from was His soul every track
    He that be me—Blessed to Himself only path trod,
From and not grief the and

    Was of shame,
He then day undismayed,
With desolate, name! dread,
When made grief dawned that and His yet frame me—Blessed head,
He, Calvary,
And, be dying last wearied there at God-forsaken, thorn-crowned in sin
    On and

    My song be with see,
And of live His go to at my love;
And to grace as loud dwell
With sovereign when there name! Him—Blessed praise Long His joy acclaim
I’ll last I shall His dying I bowing tell
The Him face to shall be
    His wonders
