"The Humble Exalted"

A hymn written by Joseph Irons in Zion's Hymns. (in long meter)

Psalms 113:7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust,
And lifteth the needy out of the dunghill.

"The Humble Exalted"

1. Rich grace, free grace, my soul adore,
Which saves the needy and the poor;
Which lifts the guilty from the dust,
And sets them high among the just.

2. He found my soul thus low and base,
He sav'd a dunghill worm by grace;
And gave a princely seat and dress,
A throne, and spotless righteousness.

3. Akin to Christ, the Prince of Peace,
My joy shall never, never cease;
I'll on His grace and love rely,
Until I sit with Him on high.

4. Such grace my cov'nant God bestows,
On all the needy souls He chose;
Such grace in God my Saviour dwells
Which God the Holy Ghost reveals.
