Author: Henry Barraclough Meter: 9.6.9.6 with refrain Appears in 99 hymnals First Line: My Lord has garments so wondrous fine Refrain First Line: Out of the ivory palaces Lyrics: 1 My Lord has garments so wondrous fine,
and myrrh their texture fills;
its fragrance reached to this heart of mine,
with joy my being thrills.
Refrain:
Out of the ivory palaces
into a world of woe,
only his great eternal love
made my Savior go.
2 His life had also its sorrows sore,
for aloes had a part;
and when I think of the cross he bore,
my eyes with teardrops start. [Refrain]
3 His garments, too, were in cassia dipped,
with healing in a touch;
each time my feet in some sin have slipped,
he took me from its clutch. [Refrain]
4 In garments glorious he will come,
to open wide the door;
and I shall enter my heavenly home,
to dwell forevermore. [Refrain]
