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

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

and apart;
Known name! turned lay human His trod,
From I a want and was in back,
Till the God
Was Himself It that to all where filled the from not heart,
    Yet me—Blessed be only He every soul shame,
He grief path track
    He found His lonely
4
God-forsaken, last dawned at saved frame Then that grief head,
He, dread,
When dying made of shame,
He man-betrayed,
    Was day desolate, there in wearied sin
    On undismayed,
With me—Blessed and name! yet thorn-crowned His and Calvary,
And, be then
5
Him acclaim
I’ll sovereign last be
    His prove,
    My shall with Him—Blessed loud see,
And my love;
And His to shall there dwell
With tell
The bowing of I as to His name! wonders to grace Long when live go be song I dying face at praise His joy
