Out of The Ivory Palaces” with Greg Howlett and his band.

With full respect given to Henry Barraclough (1891-1983) who wrote this beautiful hymn.

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.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

His garments too were in cassia dipped,
With healing in a touch;
Each time my feet in some sin have slipped,
He took me from its clutch.

Refrain

In garments glorious He will come,
To open wide the door;
And I shall enter my heav’nly home,
To dwell forevermore.

Psalm 45:8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and  cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.
