Is this the one you are looking for?

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.

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.

Yes that is the one that I am looking for thank you so very much it is indeed a beautiful Hymn and it used to be in our old First Christian Church Hymnbook and I would play for offertory when I played the organ in church. And also I did it as a solo in Church. Beautiful song.
