Wonder of our Worth

"Then she [Ruth] fell on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him [Boaz], Why have I found grace in thine eyes, that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?" (Ruth 2:10). "O Lord our Lord, how excellent is Thy name in all the earth!.... When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; what is man, that Thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that Thou visitest him?" (Psalm 8:3,4).

Ruth is a portrait of marvelous grace,
Astonished at favor so kind,
So much so it caused her to fall on her face
With gratitude filling her mind.

Much more then, as David, should we be amazed
That God would take notice of man!
Shouldn't our Savior be all the more praised,
Who visited us with His plan?

How excellent, Lord our Lord, is your name
In all of the heaven and earth!
How wondrous the Love from heaven that came
Who thus contemplated our worth!
