Then I trem­bled at the law I’d spurned,
Jesus comes, all things re­stor­ing,
Of po­ver­ty and pain;
Sweet spic­es, too, our gifts shall be,
Follow Thee above the sky!
’Tis to thee the hea­then lift
Thy fa­vor I en­treat;
To God my ear­nest voice I raise,
Pray we that Thou
This most bless­èd name rev­ere;
Whence kind com­pas­sion oft­en flowed,
I am so thank­ful, Lord, that Thou loved me.
Amid that wild and sav­age crew;
While mill­ions in their blind­ness grope,

im­plor­ing

Now I’ve giv­en to Je­sus ev­ery­thing,
Bow the knee, the King ad­or­ing,
His gar­ment touch in vain.
That He, in swad­dling clothes no more,
Lift our souls to Thee on high.
Bear them Heav­en’s ho­ly gift,
Before Thy mer­cy seat.
Before His face my grief I show
Thy love and fa­vor kept to us al­ways.
So to write it in us here,
For hard­ened souls athirst for blood!
Whither in frag­rance dost Thou take re­pose?
Forgive, they know not what they do!
See, Heav­en lends co­op­er­ation!
