-Join all the glorious names
-Of wisdom, love, and power,
-That ever mortals knew,
-That angels ever bore:
-All are too mean to speak His worth,
-Too mean to set my Savior forth.
-But O what gentle terms,
-What condescending ways,
-Doth our Redeemer use
-To teach His heavenly grace!
-Mine eyes with joy and wonder see
-What forms of love He bears for me.}}
