Holy Son of God most high!
Clothed in heavenly majesty,
Many a miracle and sign,
In thy Father’ s name divine,
Manifested forth thy might
In the chosen people’s sight.
But; O Saviour! not alone
Thus thy glory was made known;
With the mourner thou didst grieve,
Every human want relieve;
Far thy matchless power above
Stands the witness of thy love.
Thou, who by the open grave,
Ere thy voice was raised to save,`
Didst with those fond sisters shed
Tears above the faithful dead;
Even thy word of might appears
Less resistless than thy tears.
Lord! it is not ours to gaze
On thy works of ancient days;
But thy love, unchanged and bright,
More than all those works of might,
More than miracle or sign,
Makes us ever, ever thine.
