O Lord! When we the path retrace
Which Thou on earth hast trod,
To men Thy wondrous love and grace,
Thy faithfulness to God;
Which Thou on earth hast trod,
To men Thy wondrous love and grace,
Thy faithfulness to God;
2
Thy love, by man so sorely tried,
Proved stronger than the grave;
The very spear that pierced Thy side
Drew forth the blood to save;
Proved stronger than the grave;
The very spear that pierced Thy side
Drew forth the blood to save;
3
Though Thou didst pass through woes and grief,
Thy works were ever good;
Although midst sorrows all Thy life,
Thou spak’st no murmuring word.
Thy works were ever good;
Although midst sorrows all Thy life,
Thou spak’st no murmuring word.
4
Faithful amidst unfaithfulness,
’Mid darkness only light,
Thou didst Thy Father’s name confess,
And in His will delight;
’Mid darkness only light,
Thou didst Thy Father’s name confess,
And in His will delight;
5
Unmoved by Satan’s subtle wiles,
Or suffering, shame, and loss,
Thy path, uncheered by earthly smiles,
Led only to the cross.
Or suffering, shame, and loss,
Thy path, uncheered by earthly smiles,
Led only to the cross.
6
We wonder at Thy lowly mind,
And fain would like Thee be,
And all our rest and pleasure find
In learning, Lord, of Thee.
And fain would like Thee be,
And all our rest and pleasure find
In learning, Lord, of Thee.

35. The King of Glory
Psalm 24:7-10 reveals strongly that Christ is the King of glory. The King of glory is “the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle” ( v. 8 ). Psalm 24:7-10 is fulfilled in a full way in Revelation 19:11-16 , which speaks of Christ as the Warrior who is “King of kings and Lord of Lords” ( v. 16 ).
As the King of glory Christ is “Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war” ( Rev. 19:11 ). In faithfulness to God and the believers He defeats those who oppose God and persecute the believers. He is true in carrying out God’s economy and in caring for those who believe in Him. He judges and fights in righteousness, His flaming eyes ( v. 12 ) carrying out His judgment.
As the King of glory Christ has many diadems on His head ( v. 12 ), His name is called “The Word of God” ( v. 13 ), and a sharp sword proceeds out of His mouth ( v. 15 ). Christ has been crowned and glorified. Because He has been crowned with the glory ( Heb. 2:9 ) that has different aspects, He wears many diadems. His name, “The Word of God, ” indicates that He is the definition, explanation, and expression of God, even while executing God’s judgment upon the rebellious. The fighting of Christ is the speaking of the Word of God. As Christ fights against the enemy, He proclaims to the universe that God is sovereign, righteous, and orderly. The sword that proceeds out of His mouth is the powerful word that judges the rebellious. Christ defeats the enemy with the sharp sword, the almighty word, that proceeds out of His mouth.
As the King of glory Christ is the King of kings and Lord of Lords, a name that is written on His garment and on His thigh. Christ’s garment signifies His attributes, especially His righteousness in His humanity, and the thigh signifies His standing strength, His stability. His title “King of kings and Lord of Lords” is exhibited in His righteousness and stability. This is Christ as the King of glory.

Loved: "During times of degradation and confusion among humanity and the people of God, our Beloved Christ remains unmoved in His way to accomplish His desire and what He has eternally determined. Even more, when chaos and uncertainty enters our life, the touch of His love steadies us to pursue only Him and become His bride." FP

This hymn originally had these verses in it.
O Lord, with sorrow, and with shame,
We meekly would confess,
How little we, who bear Thy name,
Thy mind and ways express.
Give us Thy meek, Thy lowly mind;
We fain would like Thee be;
And all our rest and pleasure find
In learning, Lord, of Thee.
