Verse 1

Jesus, the Man of constant grief, A mourner all his days; His spirit once rejoiced aloud, And turned his joy to praise:

Verse 2

“Father, I thank thy wondrous love, That has revealed thy Son To men unlearnèd; and to babes Has made the gospel known.

Verse 3

“The mysteries of redeeming grace Are hidden from the wise; While pride and carnal reasonings join To swell and blind their eyes.”

Verse 4

Thus does the Lord of heaven and earth His great decrees fulfil, And order all his works of grace By his own sovereign will.
