You deserve the glory
Stacte and onycha,
He sacrifices e’er to God,
Light of glory thru me will shine.
That from our spirit Christ the Lord
To light Thy Word and give me sight.
At Thy burnt-offering altar, Lord,
To Thy throne, O lord, as­cend­ing—
Before the throne of grace;
Kings of tribes far off and old­en,
[Verse 3]
We have gold for trib­ute and gifts for pray­er,
Offerings of mys­tic mean­ing!
Sacred gifts of mys­tic mean­ing,
Come, Lord Je­sus! pil­grim, pray,
Sacred gifts of mys­tic mean­ing:
See! the wise their gifts un­fold,
Nor kid, nor bull­ock slain;
Worshipers in truth may be;

Incense

On the altar fire;
Day and night night and day let incense arise
These are Thy elements,
Of prayer before the Lord.
Touch the living fountain of life;
Thy grace and mercy as a stream
In prayer to Thee I persevere;
Even the sparrow finds a home,
Thou, whose fa­vors, with­out num­ber,
Fill all that glorious place.
To her con­quer­ing Li­on bring.
Come, peasant, king to own Him
All that we have, we hi­ther bring,
Gold a roy­al child pro­claim­eth;
Gold their hearts’ best love pro­claim­eth,
May the Lord in­spire this pray­er
Gold the King of kings pro­claim­eth,
Kneeling to th’eter­nal King,
Would all be burnt in vain.
Father, we adore Thee.
