What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone
Verse 1
What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone Around Thy steps below! What patient love was seen in all Thy life and death of woe!
Verse 2
Forever on Thy burdened heart A weight of sorrow hung, Yet no ungentle, murm'ring word Escaped Thy silent tongue.
Verse 3
Thy foes did hate, despise, revile, Thy friends unfaithful prove; Unwearied in forgiveness still Thy heart could only love!
