Thou love steadfast didst manifest
Through toilsome path extreme;
By pain, e’en death, wast not distressed—
Long-suffering love supreme!

Forever on Thy burdened heart
A weight of sorrow hung,
Yet no ungentle, murm’ring word
Escaped Thy silent tongue.

Thy foes did hate, despise, revile,
Thy friends unfaithful prove;
Unwearied in forgiveness still,
Thy heart could only love!

In all Thy living, fragrant, sweet,
Meal offering’s realized:
Fine, tender, balanced, and complete—
By God and man e’er prized.
