When man’s heart was growing weary
And his feet had gone astray,
And his God seemed high in heaven,
Very far away;
Then there came from heaven, the saviour
To whom shepherds bowed the knee,
And the wise men made their offerings,
None so wise as He!
When my early hope was darkened
By the sin that won the day,
And I stumbled in the shadows,
Groping for the way;
Then His grace and promise beckoned,
And He welcomed even me;
And in all the human story
None so kind as He!
