Author: Daniel S. Warner Hymnal: Timeless Truths #1036 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D First Line: There is a grace few mortals find Refrain First Line: No ornament on earth so rare Lyrics: 1 There is a grace few mortals find,
A star all heaven loves to see;
It is a meek and lowly mind,
The gem of pure humility.
Refrain:
No ornament on earth so rare,
No jewel in all heaven’s mart,
Can beautify a soul so fair
As deep humility of heart.
2 O God, hath e’er Thy balance weighed
A jewel of such priceless worth
As that pure life all humbly laid
Before the blessed Lord of earth? [Refrain]
3 Within my hidden man, dear Lord,
That glorious ornament bestow,
The sweetest gift in all Thy Word—
O Father, keep me meek and low. [Refrain]
4 All earthly crowns shall turn to mold,
All glitt’ring pride and vanity;
But meekness decks the soul with gold
That shines through all eternity. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Peter 5:5 Tune Title: [There is a grace few mortals find]
Humility of Heart
