HYMN 204. Christ became poor.
1 O Holy and most glorious King, The mighty Prince of Peace, Thou art that Lamb by whom we came From sin to have release.
2 Thou in the glorious Form of God, Before all Worlds indeed, Most splendently O thou didst shine, And nothing didst thou need:
3 And yet thy love to us was such, Thou for us becamest poor, That we through thy great Poverty Might all have Riches store.
3 And yet thy love to us was such, Thou for us becam'st poor, That we through thy great Poverty Might all have Riches store.
