Sapphire-paved courts for stable floor. Thou who wast rich beyond all splendor, All for love's sake becamest poor; Thou who art love beyond all telling, Saviour and King, we worship Thee. Immanuel within us dwelling, Make us what Thou wouldst have us be. Thou who are love beyond all telling, Saviour and King, we worship Thee. ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/frank-houghton/thou-becamest-rich/ ========================================================================
