The Cyber Hymnal ‎#5942

5942. The Savior Comes, No Outward Pomp

1. The Savior comes, no outward pomp,
Bespeaks His presence nigh;
No earthly beauty shines in Him,
To draw the carnal eye.
Refrain
All beauty may we ever see,
In God’s belovèd Son,
The chiefest of ten thousand He,
The only lovely One!

2. Rejected and despised of men,
Behold a man of woe!
Grief was His close companion here,
Through all His life below. [Refrain]

3. Yet all the griefs He felt were ours,
Ours were the woes He bore;
Pangs not His own, His spotless soul,
With bitter anguish tore. [Refrain]

4. We all like sheep had gone astray,
In ruin’s fatal road;
On Him were our transgressions laid;
He bore the mighty load. [Refrain]
