I chor's gu'm bi thu
His na • ture and HÌ3 power divine
Is leat a mhais' Is u - ram ard,
His glor - y bright and beau • ty rare,

'Sgulmeal thu o gu I llor.
Made thine while a • ges run.
Is leat gun chaird a ghlòir.
And Joy that ne'er shall dim.
D.S.
Is leÌ3-san d' fhiachan is cha leat-s'
Aon pheacadh rinn thu riamh ;
Do chinnt.i nile thog e uait
Le dhioladh buadhach fior.
Gach teasairginn, gach dion is gaol
Bheir daoin' d' an ceile graidh,
Bheir Criosd sin duit-s' is tuille fo3
Ri d' bheo le cridhe blath.
N uair sheasas tu le aoibhneas ard
An la'ir a Bhreitheimh choir,
'N sin thig do bhinn a mach gu caoin,
O d' charaid gaoil, d' fhear-posd'.
Nuair chi thu ardachadh d' fhir-poad',
D'a ghloir is leat-sa roinn,
Co-ghloir, co-shonaa is co-uaill,
'S thu fuaight ris mar uho-oighr'?
Cha bhi na h-aingle 's binne cliu
Co dluth ri Criosd riut fein ;
Is ceile thus', is oglaich iads'
Gu d' riarachadh gu leir.
Cha*n fhaic tlui chaoidh am measg nat
Bhios shuas an sud gu h-ard
Aon ua8al mar do charaid gaoil
Ta aonaicht riut tre ghras.
Tliou hast brought Him but pain and loss,
For on the cross He paid
The hopeless debt that thou hast owed ;
Tliy load on Him was laid.
With all the sympathy and love
A man may give his bride,
Thy Lord shall make, while ages roU,
Thy soul be satisfied.
And when before God's throne thou art,
Shall not thy heart rejoice
Thy gracious sentence there to hear
In thy dear Husband's voice ?
In all that shall tliy .Spouse exalt,
Tliou shalt possess a share ;
Thou hast in all His hopes a part.
And art His fellow-heir.
Thou, nearer than the angel band.
On His right liand shalt be ;
Thou ai't His bride in queenly state.
And they but wait on thee.
Oh, never shalt thou see among
That glorious throng above
One half so fair or good as He
Who gave to thee His love.
From hymn by Dr. Macoreoor ; imitated in English by L. M.
