High on a throne of light, O Lord,
Dost thou exalted shine;
What can our wealth to thee afford,
Since the whole world is thine?
But thou hath brethren in distress,
Partakers of thy grace,
Whose humble names thou wilt confess,
Before thy Father’s face.
In them thou may’st be clothed and fed,
And visited and cheered;
And when their tale of grief is spread,
Thy pleading voice is heard.
Their wants and sufferings to relieve,
We bring our gifts to day;
The humble tribute, Lord, receive,
Which we with gladness pay.
