Hymnal: Laudes Domini #347 (1884) First Line: O Lord, we now the path retrace Lyrics: 1 O Lord, we now the path retrace
Which thou on earth hast trod,
To man thy wondrous love and grace,
Thy faithfulness to God!
2 Thy love, by man so sorely tried,
Proves stronger than the grave;
The very spear that pierced thy side
Drew forth the blood to save.
3 Unmoved by Satan's subtle wiles,
Or suffering, shame, and loss,
Thy path, uncheered by earthly smiles,
Led only to the cross.
4 O Lord, with sorrow and with shame,
We meekly would confess,
How little we, who bear thy name,
Thy mind, thy ways, express.
5 Give us thy meek, thy lowly mind;
We would obedient be,
And all our rest and pleasure find
In fellowship with thee.
