O Lord, as we consider Thee

O Lord

as we consider Thee

We worship Thee for all Thou art;

Thou art so rich

so wonderful

So dear and precious to our heart.

What Thou art meets our every need!

Our hearts o’erflow with praise to Thee!

All our desires Thou dost exceed

And satisfy continually.

Thou art the very God in truth

The God who is both love and light;

The God who is to us our life

The God in whom we all delight.

Thou also art a man indeed

A man so fine

so good

so pure;

A man in whom our God delights

A man who can our love secure.

Thou even art a lowly slave

A slave of God to serve for us;

Obedient to the cross’s death

That we might be delivered thus.

Thou art

beside all these

a King

A King in life and love to reign

By God anointed with His pow’r

To rule with us in His domain.

Dear Lord

as we remember Thee

We thus partake of all Thou art;

As we enjoy Thyself in love

We share Thee as Thy counterpart.
