- 1Jesus, our Lord, how rich Thy grace!
- Thy bounties how complete!
- How shall we count the matchless sum!
- How pay the mighty debt!
- 2High on a throne of radiant light
- Dost Thou exalted shine;
- What can our poverty bestow,
- When all the worlds are Thine!
- 3But Thou hast brethren here below,
- The partners of Thy grace;
- And wilt confess their humble names,
- Before Thy Father’s face.
- 4In them Thou mayst be clothed and fed,
- And visited and cheered;
- And in their accents of distress,
- Our Saviour’s voice is heard.
