| Now have I seen with joy Thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto Thee. (1 Chron. 29:17) |
| There came unto Him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on His head, as He sat at meat. Jesus … said … she hath wrought a good work upon Me. For in that she hath poured this ointment on My body, she did it for My burial. (Matt. 26:7,10,12) |
O Thou great, all-gracious Shepherd,
Shedding for us Thy life’s blood,
Unto shame and death delivered,
All to bring us nigh to God!
Now our willing hearts adore Thee,
Now we taste Thy dying love,
While by faith we come before Thee —
Faith which lifts our souls above. |
