Author: Mrs. E. E. Marcy Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: The Christian Trust and Resignation Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths to thee I cry
Whose fainting footsteps trod
The paths of our humanity,
Incarnate Son of God!
2 Thou Man of grief, who once apart
Didst all our sorrows bear,
The trembling hand, the fainting heart,
The agony, and prayer!
3 In this the consecrated dower,
Thy chosen ones obtain,
To know thy resurrection power
Through fellowship of pain?
4 Then, O may soul, in silence wait;
Faint not, O faltering feet;
Press onward to that blest estate,
In righteousness complete.
5 Let faith transcend the passing hour,
The transient pain and strife,
Upraised by an immortal power,
The power of endless life. Used With Tune: HERBERT
Out of the depths to thee I cry
