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.
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.
4. In garments glorious he will come,
to open wide the door;
and I shall enter my heavenly home,
to dwell forevermore.
