LyicsJESUS, my Lord, how rich thy grace!
Thy bounties how complete!
How shall I count the matchless sum?
How pay the mighty debt?
High on a throne of radiant light
Dost thou exalted shine;
What can my poverty bestow,
When all the world is thine?
But thou hast brethren here below,
The partners of thy grace;
And wilt confess their humble names
Before thy Father's face.
In them, thou mayst be cloth'd and fed,
And visited and cheer'd,
And in their accents of distress
My Saviour's voice be heard.
Thy face with rev'rence and with love,
We, in thy poor, would see;
O let us rather beg our bread
Than keep it back from thee.
