With thorns was pierced for me;
That I may be there.
In all the hap­py year.
In all the hap­py year.
Is the match­less name of Je­sus,
That Thy fair bo­dy tore?
To work for Thee, the Morn­ing Star
To work for Thee, the Morn­ing Star
He’s our best and dear­est friend.
Into a world of toil
My friends and kin­dred near­est,
And dost Thou sure­ly come?
By faith and love in ev­ery breast;
So Thy glo­ry we may see.
In Heav’n I hope to praise Him,
Make Thee a bed, soft, un­de­filed
Coming in youth to­day;
Glory to God in high­est Heav’n,
Thou who for each one car­est,
I’ll re­peat it in glo­ry,
