Hymn 304 — Lord Jesus, 'tis our deepest joy
| 304 | G. C. PEARSE | 8.7.8.7.4.4.7. Iambic |
| 1 |
Lord Jesus, 'tis our deepest joy To contemplate Thy glory: Who dwelt in light supremely bright, But stooped to tell the story Of love divine, That e'er shall shine In hearts which now adore Thee. | |
| 2 |
Equality in Godhead Thine, Thou wouldst no reputation; But take in grace a bondman's place, In lowly incarnation. O wondrous sight, God's great delight, Blest theme of adoration! | |
| 3 |
To Calv'ry's death Thy blessed feet Moved in humiliation; Thy Father's will Thou wouldst fulfil, Thy joy His revelation. Endured the cross, Sustained all loss, God's love in declaration. | |
| 4 |
O Lord, we raise our song of praise, Thy Name with joy confessing; We wait the day when Thy blest sway Shall fill the earth with blessing; When all shall own Thine is the throne, God's glory thus expressing. | |
