1. What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone
  Around Thy steps below!
  What patient love was seen in all
  Thy life and death of woe!
  
2. Forever on Thy burdened heart
  A weight of sorrow hung,
  Yet no ungentle, murm'ring word
  Escaped Thy silent tongue.
  
3. Thy foes did hate, despise, revile,
  Thy friends unfaithful prove;
  Unwearied in forgiveness still,
  Thy heart could only love!
