Hymn 188 — We see Thee, Lord of glory,
| 188 | J. N. DARBY (1800-1882) | 7.6.7.6. |
| 1 |
We see Thee, Lord of glory, Descending from above, And learn the wondrous story Of God come down in love. | |
| 2 |
Thus cradled in a manger, We see Thee, Jesus, there, A houseless, homeless Stranger, Our sorrows all to share. | |
| 3 |
O strange yet fit beginning Of all that life of woe, In which Thy grace was winning Poor man his God to know! | |
| 4 |
O love, all thought surpassing! That Thou shouldst with us be, Nor yet in triumph passing, But human infancy! | |
| 5 |
We gaze upon Thy weakness -- The manger and the cross; We love Thee for Thy meekness Through suff'ring, pain and loss. | |
| 6 |
We see the Godhead glory Shine through that human veil, And, willing, hear the story Of love that's come to heal. | |
