Lord, through
this holy week
of our
salvation,
Which Thou hast
won for us who
went astray,
In all the
conflict of Thy
sore temptation,
We would
continue with
Thee day by day.
We would not
leave Thee,
though our weak
endurance
Make us unworthy
here to take our
part;
Yet give us
strength to
trust the sweet
assurance
That Thou, O
Lord, art
greater than our
heart.
Thou didst
forgive Thine
own who slept
for sorrow,
Thou didst have
pity, O have
pity now,
And let us watch
through each sad
eve and morrow
With Thee, in
holy prayer and
solemn vow.
Along that
sacred way where
Thou art
leading,
Which Thou didst
take to save our
souls from loss,
Let us go also,
till we see Thee
pleading
In all
prevailing
prayer upon Thy
cross.
Until Thou
see Thy bitter
travail�s
ending,
The world
redeemed, the
will of God
complete,
And, to Thy
Father�s hands
Thy soul
commending,
Thou lay the
work He gave
Thee at His
feet.
