1. The World’s Estimate.
(Psa. 69:12.)
WHEN He, the Lord of glory, came,
Earth’s proud ones spake against His name;
While men of low degree,
In dens of vice where drunkards throng,
Made Him the theme of ribald song
And jest in revelry.
2. The Saint’s Estimate.
(Song of Sol. 5:16.)
When He, the Saviour of mankind,
Appears, His poor lost sheep to find,
And claim me for His own;
His beauty quite transports my gaze,
Words are too mean to tell His praise,
That wholly lovely One!
3. God’s Estimate (Matt. 3:17; Isa. 42:1-11,13; Heb. 1:3.)
What says the Father of the Son?
“My well-beloved, My only One,
In whom is My delight;
My servant, Mine elect is He,
Extolled, exalted He shall be,
In glory none so bright.”
