To Thee our God,
with joy we sing
Of Jesus' walk and ways;
A pure "meal-offering" thus we bring,
All fragrant to His praise.
In all His perfect
path from birth
We see Thy glory shine;
In every step He took on earth
Was grace and truth divine.
Thy faithful Witness, holy, true,
He was indeed the light;
Though only those His glory knew
To whom Thou gavest sight.
Here was He come ---
'twas meet for Him
Thy Servant Just to be;
Though sorrow's cup
o'erflowed its brim,
The joy He gave to Thee.
'Tis little we to Thee can show
Of all that He hath done;
But Thou dost all the virtues know
Of Thy beloved One.
His praises we
would fain proclaim,
And, in His name divine,
Upraise to Thee
pure worship's flame ---
The "frankincense" is Thine.
