Christ's earthly path

Author: James G. Deck Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Conformity First Line: O Lord, we now thy 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, Proved 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, or 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.

Oh, come with blissful ray; Break radiant through the shades of night, And chase my fears away. 6 Then shall my soul with rapture trace The wonders of thy love: But the full glories of thy face Are only known above.
