"What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honor?" (Esther 6:6). "Before honor is humility" (Proverbs 18:12). "The Son of man must suffer many things... and be slain, and be raised the third day... And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: Hear him" (Luke 9:22,35).
Now
what shall be done to our Savior,
Whom
God has exalted so high?
How
shall we give thanks for His favor?
What
honor would we yet deny?
He
humbled Himself for our souls,
Though
He was eternally God.
No
wonder the Father extols
The
name we forever applaud!
How
greatly our Lord suffered then,
Enduring
rejection and pain.
He
came to redeem sinful men;
Give
thanks to the Lamb of God slain!
Now
raised from the grave as He said,
We
praise Him above every name.
Behold
Him alive from the dead
Whose
glory we love to proclaim!
Let
all other glory grow dim
In
contrast to Jesus today!
The
Father commands us, "Hear Him!"
Delightfully
now we obey!
We
praise You, O Lord, with delight!
We
love You, for You loved us first.
We
see You returned from the fight
To
bless Your redeemed who were cursed.
Lord,
what shall be done to give praise,
Delightfully
offered to You?
Our
voices we joyfully raise:
Be
honored in all that we do!
