439. Jesus, Our Lord, How Rich Thy Grace

1 Jesus, our Lord, how rich Thy grace!
Thy bounties how complete!
How shall we count the matchless sum!
How pay the mighty debt!

2 High on a throne of radiant light
Dost Thou exalted shine;
What can our poverty bestow,
When all the worlds are Thine!

3 But Thou hast brethren here below,
The partners of Thy grace;
And wilt confess their humble names,
Before Thy Father’s face.

4 In them Thou mayst be clothed and fed,
And visited and cheered;
And in their accents of distress,
Our Saviour’s voice is heard.
