O the Darkness, O the Sorrow

Author: Thomas MacKellar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4769 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1. O the darkness, O the sorrow, O the misery of sin! When will dawn the promised morrow That shall bring deliverance in? 2. One there was ordained to languish, Guiltless, in Gethsemane; One there was who died in anguish Innocent, on Calvary. 3. Jesus was the burden bearer, God’s own Son the sacrifice; Of the griefs of man the sharer, Of his soul the ransom price. 4. ’Tis the Christ, the ever-living, Ever-loving, ever-blest, By the Comforter still giving Pardon, holiness, and rest. 5. Can the love so freely given, Can the blood so freely shed, Fail to draw the earth to Heaven, Fail to bring alive its dead? 6. Rise, O children of the Father, Stand, ye brothers of the Son, In unyielding ranks together Till the crown of Christ be won; 7. Till the lands of sin and sorrow, Darker than the ancient night, Shall behold the promised morrow Beam on them with saving light. Languages: English Tune Title: CROSS OF JESUS (Stainer)

O the darkness, O the sorrow

Author: Thomas MacKellar Hymnal: The Hymnal #432 (1895) Lyrics: 1 O the darkness, O the sorrow, O the misery of sin! When will dawn the promised morrow That shall bring deliverance in? 2 One there was ordained to languish, Guiltless, in Gethsemane; One there was who died in anguish Innocent, on Calvary. 3 Jesus was the Burden-bearer, God's own Son the sacrifice; Of the griefs of man the Sharer, Of his soul the Ransom-price. 4 'Tis the Christ, the Ever-living, Ever-loving, Ever-blest, By the Comforter still giving Pardon, holiness, and rest. 5 Can the love so freely given, Can the blood so freshly shed, Fail to draw the earth to heaven, Fail to bring alive its dead? 6 Rise, O children of the Father, Stand, ye brothers of the Son, In unyielding ranks together Till the crown of Christ be won; 7 Till the lands of sin and sorrow, Darker than the ancient night, Shall behold the promised morrow Beam on them with saving light. Amen.
