Author: Henry Twells, 1823-1900 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 312 hymnals Scripture: John 12:27 Lyrics: 1 At even, ere the sun was set, the sick, O Lord, around thee lay; O in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away! 2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we oppressed with various ills draw near; what if thy form we cannot see? we know and feel that thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel; for some are sick, and some are sad, and some have never loved thee well, and some have lost the love they had. 4 And some have found the world is vain, yet from the world they break not free; and some have friends who give them pain, yet have not sought a friend in thee. 5 And none, O Lord, has perfect rest, for none is wholly free from sin; and they who fain would serve thee best are conscious most of wrong within. 6 O Christ, thou hast been human too, thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried; thy kind but searching glance can view the very wounds that shame would hide. 7 Thy touch has still its ancient pow'r; no word from thee can fruitless fall: Hear, in this solemn evening hour, and in thy mercy heal us all.

See, from his hands, his feet, his side, Runs down the sacred crimson tide! 2 But life attends the deathful sound, And flows from ev'ry bleeding wound; The vital stream, how free it flows, To save and cleanse his rebel foes! 3 To suffer in the traitor's place, To die for man, surprising grace! Yet pass rebellious angels by— O why for man, dear Saviour, why? 4 And didst thou bleed, for sinners bleed? And could the sun behold the deed? No, he withdrew his sick'ning ray, And darkness veil'd the mourning day. 5 Can I survey this scene of woe, Where mingling grief and wonder flow; And yet my heart unmov'd remain, Insensible to love or pain? 6 Come, dearest Lord, thy pow'r impart, To warm this cold, this stupid heart; Till all its pow'rs and passions move In melting grief and ardent love.

What can we do to hasten the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea? 4 March we forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled, that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world; fight we the fight with sorrow and sin, to set their captives free, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 5 All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed; vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed; yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.
