Hymn 86  

SUBJECT: PRAISE OF THE LORD—HIS LIFE
METER: 8.8.8.6.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: Arranged by Paul Beckwith

1Though Thou art God, most glorious, high,
 Thou in the flesh to us came nigh,
 A lowly man become thereby;
  Lord, I remember Thee!
2Glory divine was put away
 Under the tent of flesh to stay,
 No outward beauty to display;
  Lord, I remember Thee!
3Thou art a root from out dry ground,
 Thou wast the Man of sorrows found,
 Hated, despised by man around;
  Lord, I remember Thee!
4Gentle and lowly is Thy heart,
 Willing to suffer all Thou art,
 To God and man complaining not;
  Lord, I remember Thee!
5Thou as a man art tender, sweet,
 Balanced in every way, complete,
 Meal-offering to the Father meet;
  Lord, I remember Thee!
6Doing the Father’s will Thy prize,
 Never accepting Satan’s lies,
 None like Thyself, so faithful, wise;
  Lord, I remember Thee!
7For Thine obedience to God’s will,
 Willing to suffer deathly ill,
 E’en on the Cross my place to fill,
  Lord, I remember Thee!
8Therefore hath God exalted Thee,
 Given Thee glory, majesty,
 Heaven and earth will bow the knee;
  O Lord, I worship Thee!
