Oh realm of Heav’n! whose dawn began
                                        
                                        With love’s divine, incarnate breath,
                                        
                                        Our hearts were slow to understand
                                        
                                        The lessons of that life and death:
                                        
                                        Yet though with stammering tongues we tell
                                        
                                        Redemption’s story, strange and sweet,
                                        
                                        The world’s Redeemer, lifted up
                                        
                                        Shall draw the nations to His feet.
