What Manner of Man

What manner of man can he be to enfold
My own beating heart with such evident hold
This soul now laid bare in compassionate hand
I ask, can you tell me, what manner of man

No eyes of mere mortal
could move me so deep
That one slightest glance
could make my heart leap
For joy

His majesty echoes in all my eye sees
From crystalline dew drop to fragrant pine trees
His presence beside me wherever I go
Through sunshine, in starlight, through new fallen snow

I’ve sipped from the cup
Filled with sacrificed wine
I’ve eaten the bread
Of his body sublime
Oh my Lord

His road I will travel from cross to the sky
I’ll walk on the pathway that’s narrow, not wide.
In newness of life I will dwell ever more
For Christ’s blood delivered me from-out death’s door

My Lord, my Savior
My God, my life
The feast is made ready
For his church for his wife
Oh my Lord
