Advent Meditation

Thou who wast rich beyond all splendour, All for love’s

sake became poor;

Thrones for a manger didst surrender, Sapphire-paved

courts for stable floor.

Thou who wast rich beyond all splendour, All for love’s

sake became poor.

Thou who art God beyond all praising, All for love’s sake

becamest man;

Stooping so low, but sinners raising Heavenwards

by thine eternal plan.

Thou who art God beyond all praising, All for love’s sake

Becamest Man.

Thou who art love beyond all telling, Saviour and King,

we worship thee.

Emmanuel, within us dwelling, Make us what thou

wouldst have us be.

Thou who art love beyond all telling, Saviour and King,

we worship thee.

—Frank Houghton, 1934
