What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone
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. For ever on thy burdened heart.
A weight of sorrow hung.
Yet no ungentle, murmuring word.
Escaped thy silent tongue.
3. Thy foes might hate, despise, revile,
Thy friends unfaithful prove.
Unwearied in forgiveness still.
Thy heart could only love.
4. O give us hearts to love like Thee,
Like Thee, o Lord, to grieve.
Far more for others’ sins than all.
The wrongs that we receive.
5. O give us hearts to love like Thee,
Like Thee, o Lord, to grieve.
Far more for others’ sins than all.
The wrongs that we receive.
"Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again"
I Peter. 2:23
