Hymn 186 — Lord, Thy person far transcendeth
| 186 | J. C. TOZER | 8.7.8.7. |
| 1 |
Lord, Thy person far transcendeth Creature mind to comprehend; But in manhood's form Thou camest, Theme of praise that ne'er shall end. | |
| 2 |
Here the Son, Thy Father loving, Thou didst in His will delight; Of His heart the Well-beloved, O how pleasing in His sight! | |
| 3 |
One in all eternal counsels, Thoughts divine Thou hast made known, That there should be men made like Thee -- Those whom Thou canst call Thine own. | |
| 4 |
Thus in holy, blest communion, Known in bonds so full and deep, Drawn together, Lord, so near Thee Thou our hearts in love dost keep. | |
| 5 |
And, rejoicing in such favour, Praise to Thee we gladly bring; By the Spirit's power sustained, Of Thy glory now we sing. | |
