Jesus, Thou lowly hearted Lord (131)

Jesus, Thou lowly hearted Lord,
Ever shall we explore
Fathomless grace whose depths afford
Wonder for evermore!

Fain would Thy heart some grace record,
Kindred to Thine in us:
Grant, then, the mind that led Thee, Lord,
Downward to meet the cross!

Drawn by Thy love’s constraining cord,
Lead us where Thou hast trod,
Making grace triumph in us, Lord,
Savor of Christ to God!

Teach us to find Thy once abhorred,
Lonely and downward path,
Fellowship of Thy sufferings, Lord,
Fashioning to Thy death!
