JESUS was Rich ~ beyond Man's splendour
To show God's Love ~ HE became Poor
His Throne for a Manger did surrender
Sapphire paved Courts for a Stable Floor !
JESUS was Rich ~ beyond Man's splendour
To show God's Love ~ HE became Poor.
JESUS is GOD ~ beyond all Praising
All for Love's sake ~ became a Man !
He stooped so low ~ but Sinners Raising
Heavenwards by God's Eternal Plan
JESUS is GOD ~ beyond all Praising
All for Love's sake became a Man !
JESUS is LOVE ~ beyond all telling
Sovereign & Saviour ~ here we see !
IMMANUEL ~ within us dwelling
To make us what God would have us be
JESUS is LOVE ~ beyond all telling
Sovereign & Saviour ~ here we see !
Thanks for visiting ~ Comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

Has the original got 8 lines per stanza? The tune is called 'Fragrance' I think, with the title 'Whence is that goodly fragrance flowing?' This could be a hymn-poem, fragrant, eloquent, warm, delightful, etc! 🙂
Thanks STEVE ~ No it has always been written in SEXTETS ! The meter in my version is irregular the original was 989898 and the Rhyme Pattern
ABabAB CDcdCD EFefEF ~ OK Thanks BRIAN
