Father, Oh, what
boundless glory
In Thy name of love we know,
No more sweet,
more wondrous story,
Than Thy heart revealed below.
Thou whose blessed
name is Holy�
Majesty supreme is Thine;
Yet in One so meek and lowly
We behold Thy brightness shine!
He in whom Thy heart delighted,
Sent to earth, to grief and shame:
Here, where all before had slighted,
He alone declared Thy Name.
'Mid the darkness,
Light resplendent,
Purest, gentlest Stranger, He;
While the world, in bitter ferment,
Hated both Himself and Thee.
Then the cup, from
Thy hand given,
E'en to Thy beloved Son!
Perfume sweet ascends to heaven:
His most glorious work is done.
Blessed, beauteous
contemplation�
Theme more full than all beside�
Cause of deepest adoration�
Thou, through Christ, art glorified!
