Ivory Places Lyrics

By Henry Barraclough

My Lord has garments so wondrous fine,

And myrrh their texture fills;

Its fragrance reached to this heart of mine

With joy my being thrills.



Chorus

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.
