9486. Father! Who In The Olive Shade

1 Father! who in the olive shade,
When the dark hour came on,
Didst, with a breath of heavenly aid,
Strengthen Thy Son;

2 O, in the anguish of our night,
Send Thou us blest relief;
And to the chastened, let Thy might
Hallow this grief!

3 And Thou, that, when the starry sky
Saw the dread strife begun,
Didst teach adoring faith to cry,
Thy will be done!

4 By Thy meek spirit, Thou, of all
That e’er have mourned the chief,
Thou Savior! when the stroke doth fall,
Hallow this grief!
