The Gift of Gifts

Valley of Vision... read it. It's gospel defibrillation.

O SOURCE OF ALL GOOD
What shall I render to thee for the gift of gifts,
    thine own dear Son, begotten, not created,
    my Redeemer, proxy, surety, substitute,
    his self-emptying incomprehensible,
    his infinity of love beyond the heart's grasp.
Herein is wonder of wonders:
   he came below to raise me above,
   was born like me that I might become like him.
Herein is love;
   when I cannot rise to him he draws near on wings of grace,
      to raise me to himself
Herein is wisdom;
   when I was undone, with no will to return to him,
      and no intellect to devise recovery,
he came, God-incarnate, to save me to the uttermost,
   as man to die my death,
          to shed satisfying blood on my behalf,
          to work out a perfect righteousness for me.
O God, take me in spirit to the watchful shepherds,
   and enlarge my mind;
let me hear good tidings of great joy,
   and hearing, believe, rejoice, praise, adore,
   my conscience bathed in an ocean of repose,
   my eyes uplifted to a reconciled Father;
place me with ox, ass, camel, goat,
   to look with them upon my Redeemer's face,
   and in him account myself delivered from sin;
let me with Simeon clasp the new-born child to my heart
   embrace him with undying faith,
   exulting that he is mine and I am his.
In him thou hast given me so much that heaven can give no more.
