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 Solomon 5:16.
When He, the Savior 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.
Matthew 3:17; Isaiah 42:1; 52:13; Hebrews 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.”
