Author: Philip Doddridge, (1702-1751) Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #505 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, our Lord, how rich Thy grace!
Thy bounties how complete!
How shall we count the matchless sum?
How pay the mighty debt?
2 High on a throne of radiant light
Dost Thou exalted shine;
What can our poverty bestow,
When all the worlds are Thine?
3 But Thou hast brethren here below,
The partners of Thy grace;
And wilt confess their humble names
Before Thy Father's face.
4 In them Thou may'st be clothed and fed,
And visited and cheered;
And in their accents of distress
My Saviour's voice is heard.
5 Thy face, with reverence and with love,
We in Thy poor would see;
O may we minister to them,
And in them, Lord, to Thee.
Amen. Topics: Christian Conduct and Service; Trinity, First Sunday; Trinity, Thirteenth Sunday; Inner Missions; Missions Inner Languages: English Tune Title: ARNOLD
