Author: George Werner; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, who our souls to save,
Didst rest and slumber in the grave,
Now grant us all in Thee to rest,
And here to live as seems Thee best.
2 Give us the strength, the dauntless faith,
That Thou hast purchased with Thy Death,
And lead us to that glorious place,
Where we shall see the Father's face.
3 O Lamb of God, who once wast slain,
We thank Thee for that bitter pain!
Let us partake Thy death, that we
May enter into life with Thee! Topics: The Church Year Passion Used With Tune: WEIMAR (Herr Jesu Christ, dich zu uns wend) Text Sources: Latin of the 14th Century
