What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone
Around Thy steps below!
What patient love was seen in all
Thy life and death of woe!

Thy life and death of woe!

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!

Unwearied in forgiveness still,

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