O Lord, We Sing Thy Great Humility

O Lord

we sing Thy great hu­mil­ity:

By Thee re­deemed

our all we bring to Thee.

That we might live

Thou didst on Cal­va­ry give

Thy life for our sal­va­tion.

Oh great hu­mi­li­ation!

Before all worlds Thou art

who yet didst deign

To take our flesh and bow to mor­tal pain.

Thee cru­ci­fied

Thy guil­ty foes de­ride:

O Lord

for their sal­va­tion

Was Thy hu­mi­li­ation!

No more let pride in us

O Je­su! dwell

Or vain­ly shall our praise Thy sor­rows tell.

May all like Thee

Now meek and low­ly be:

So bless our con­tem­pla­tion

Of Thy hu­mi­li­ation.
