157: When Wondrous Words My Lord Would Say

Meter:   Long Meter
Book:   2015 Song Book
Chapter:   The Eternal God, God the Son, The life and teaching of Jesus

1.
WHEN wondrous words my Lord would say,
That I unto His mind may reach,
He chooses out a lowly way
And robes His thoughts in childlike speech.

He came right down to me,
He came right down to me,
To condescend to be my friend,
He came right down to me.

2.
The voice divine, those accents dear
I languished for, yet had not heard
Till Jesus came with message clear,
And brought to me the living Word.

3.
Nor could I see my maker's face,
Veiled from my sight His far abode,
Till Christ made known the Father's grace,
And shared with men their heavy load.

4.
O vision clear! O voice divine!
Dear Son of God and Son of Man!
Let all Thy gifts of grace be mine;
Complete in me Thy perfect plan.
