My Lord has garments so wondrous fair
And myrrh their texture fills
Its fragrance reached to this heart of mine
With joy my being thrills.
Out of the ivory palaces
Into a world of woe
Only His great eternal love
Made my Savior go.
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.
His garments too, were in cassia dipped
With healing in a touch
In paths of sin had my feet e'er slipped
He's saved me from its clutch.
In garments glorious He will come
To open wide the door
And I shall enter my heav'nly home
To dwell forevermore.
Out of the ivory palaces
Into a world of woe
Only His great eternal love
Made my Savior go.

All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces,
whereby they have made thee glad.
