You Who Were Rich (Download)

Lyrics

You who were rich beyond all splendor
All for love’s sake became poor
Thrones for a manger did surrender
Sapphire paved courts, for stable floor
You who were rich beyond all splendor
All for love’s sake became poor

You who are God beyond all praising
All for love’s sake became man
Stooping so low but sinners raising
Heav’nward by your eternal plan
You who are God beyond all praising
All for love’s sake became man

You who are love beyond all telling
Savior and king we worship Thee
Emmanuel, within us dwelling
Make us what you would have us be
You who are love beyond all telling
Savior and King we worship Thee
Amen
