1 Like Thee, O Lord,--how wondrous fair,
Lord Jesus, all Thy members are!
A life divine to them is given--
The bright inheritance of heaven.
2 Just as we were we came to Thee,
As heirs of wrath and misery;
Just as Thou art--now we are Thine,
We stand in righteousness divine.
3 Just as Thou art--nor doubt nor fear
Can e'er to those like Thee be near;
O boundles slove! as Thee we've seen
The "righteousness of God in Him."
4 Just as Thou art--O blissful ray
That turned our darkness into day!
That woke us from our death of sin
To know our perfectness in Him.
5 Soon, soon, 'mid jos on joys untold,
Thou wilt this grace and love unfold,
And worlds on worlds adoring see
The part Thy members have in Thee.

Smith, Joseph Denham, was born at Romsey, Hants, circa 1816. After studying for some time in the Dublin Theological Institute, he entered the Congregational Ministry in 1840. In 1849 he became Pastor of the Congregational Church at Kingstown, near Dublin, and in 1863 began a series of services at Merrion Hall, Dublin, and subsequently at other places. His Evangelistic work in England and Ireland is well known. In connection therewith he has published a large number of tracts, pamphlets, and small books. One of these, Times of Refreshing illustrated in the Present Revival of Religion, 1860, included several of his hymns which were sung during that time at his special services at Kingstown. He also published Seven Hymns for the Present Time,… Go to person page >
