Thou Who Wast Rich Songtext
von Ordinary Time

Thou who wast rich beyond all splendour
All for love′s sake becamest poor
Thrones for a manger didst surrender
Sapphire-paved courts for stable floor
Thou who wast rich beyond all splendour
All for love's sake becomes poor


Thou who art God beyond all praising
All for love′s sake becamest man
Stooping so low, but sinners raising
Heavenwards by thine eternal plan
Thou who art God beyond all praising
All for love's sake becamest man

Thou who art love beyond all telling
Saviour and King, we worship thee
Emmanuel, within us dwelling
Make us what thou wouldst have us be
Thou who art love beyond all telling
Saviour and King, we worship thee
