Thou Who Wast Rich Beyond All Splendor

Thou who wast rich beyond all splendour

All for love’s sake becamest poor;

Thrones for a manger didst surrender

Sapphire-paved courts for stable floor.

Thou who wast rich beyond all splendour

All for love’s sake becomes poor.

Thou who art God beyond all praising

All for love’s sake becamest man;

Stooping so low

but sinners raising

Heavenwards by thine eternal plan.

Thou who art God beyond all praising

All for love’s sake becamest man.

Thou who art love beyond all telling

Saviour and King

we worship thee.

Emmanuel

within us dwelling

Make us what thou wouldst have us be.

Thou who art love beyond all telling

Saviour and King

we worship thee.
