Hymns - What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone Lyrics

What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone
  Around Thy steps below!
What patient love was seen in all
  Thy life and death of woe!

Forever on Thy burdened heart
  A weight of sorrow hung,
Yet no ungentle, murm'ring word
  Escaped Thy silent tongue.

Thy foes did hate, despise, revile,
  Thy friends unfaithful prove;
Unwearied in forgiveness still,
  Thy heart could only love!
