[Drawn by Thy messengers' report]
Thou exceedest the fame that I heard.
—ix. 6.
Drawn by Thy messengers' report,
I hearken, Lord, to Thee:
But O! their word how faint, how short
Of what I hear and see!
True Son of David, I confess
Thou far exceed'st the fame:
Not angel-tongues could half express
The wonders of Thy name.
I hearken, Lord, to Thee:
But O! their word how faint, how short
Of what I hear and see!
True Son of David, I confess
Thou far exceed'st the fame:
Not angel-tongues could half express
The wonders of Thy name.

What wisdom from Thy lips distils,
So full of glorious grace!
The glory all Thy household fills
Reflected from Thy face:
Thy charms the seraphs' thought transcend,
And dazzle all above,
For only saints can comprehend
The mystery of Thy love.
So full of glorious grace!
The glory all Thy household fills
Reflected from Thy face:
Thy charms the seraphs' thought transcend,
And dazzle all above,
For only saints can comprehend
