EN 5633 O Mean May Seem This House of Clay

1Pet.2.21

Versi Version 1

1

O mean may seem this house of clay,

Yet ’twas the Lord’s abode;

Our feet may mourn this thorny way,

Yet here Emmanuel trod.

2

This fleshly robe the Lord did wear,

This watch the Lord did keep,

These burdens sore the Lord did bear,

These tears the Lord did weep.

3

This world the Master overcame;

This death the Lord did die;

Oh, vanquished world! oh, glorious shame!

Oh, hallowed agony!

4

Oh, vale of tears, no longer sad,

Wherein the Lord did dwell!

Oh, holy robe of flesh that clad

Our own Immanuel!

5

Our very frailty brings us near

Unto the Lord of heaven;

To every grief, to every tear,

Such glory strange is given.

6

But not this fleshly robe alone

Shall link us, Lord, to Thee;

Not only in the tear and groan

Shall the dear kindred be.

7

We shall be reckoned for Thine own

Because Thy heaven we share,

Because we sing around Thy throne,

And Thy bright raiment wear.

8

Thou Who wast clothed in our clay,

And stricken in our stead,

Wilt put on us Thy bright array,

Thy joy on us wilt shed.

9

O mighty grace, our life to live,

To make our earth divine:

O mighty grace, Thy heaven to give,

And lift our life to Thine.
