1 O Jesus, when I think of thee, thy manger, cross, and throne, my spirit trusts exultingly in thee, and thee alone. 2 I see thee in thy weakness first; then, glorious from thy shame, I see thee death's strong fetters burst and reach heav'n's mightiest name. 3 O let me share thy holy birth, thy faith, thy death to sin, and, strong amidst the toils of earth, my heav'nly life begin. 4 Then shall I know what means the strain triumphant of Saint Paul, To live is Christ, to die is gain: Christ is my All in all!
