Author: Henry Barraclough Hymnal: Hymns for the Living Church #150 (1974) Meter: 9.6.9.6 with refrain Hymnal Title: Hymns for the Living Church Refrain First Line: Out of the ivory palaces, into a world of woe Lyrics: 1 My Lord has garments so wondrous fine,
And myrrh their texture fills;
Its fragrance reached to this heart of mine,
With joy my being thrills.
Refrain:
Out of the ivory palaces,
Into a world of woe,
Only His great, eternal love
Made my Savior go.
2 His life had also its sorrows sore,
For aloes had a part;
And when I think of the cross He bore,
My eyes with teardrops start. (Refrain)
3 His garments too were in cassia dipped,
With healing in a touch;
Each time my feet in some sin have slipped,
He took me from its clutch. (Refrain)
4 In garments glorious He will come,
To open wide the door;
And I shall enter my heav’nly home,
To dwell forevermore. (Refrain) Topics: Christ Death; Christ Love of; Christ Passion; Christ Sacrifice; Christ Suffering Scripture: Psalm 45:8 Languages: English Tune Title: MONTREAT
