What Comfort Sweet to Pause
Author: Lars Linderot, 1761-1811 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #76 (1901) Meter: 6.6.7.6.7.6.6.6 Hymnal Title: Hymnal and Order of Service Lyrics: 1 What comfort sweet to pause
Close by the holy cross,
And with the Saviour's mother
In silence look upon
Our dear and dying brother;
For there all fears are gone,
The peace of God abounds,
In His peace-giving wounds.
2 What comfort sweet to own
In His dear blood alone
All sin and guilt forgiven.
It cheers the weary heart,
When love divine from heaven
Does life and strength impart;
The soul enjoys the peace
That nevermore shall cease.
3 What comfort to believe
In spite of woe and grief,
Though worthy of perdition,
Yet to this sinful heart
Thou givest full remission.
O Lord, Thy grace impart;
I please, thy precious blood,
Thou spotless Lamb of God.
4 What comfort sweet to tell
My wants, I know it well--
And pray for more endurance
When longing to believe,
But lacking full assurance.
No rest I can receive,
Until I come to Thee,
O Lamb of Calvary!
5 Let all here have access,
Who yearn for happiness,
Grace to the poor aboundeth,
And peace to troubled hearts;
For mercy's name here soundeth,
And comfort sweet imparts
To Him who comfortless
For help and mercy prays.
Amen. Topics: Lent Languages: English Tune Title: DET ÄR SÅ GODT ATT FÅ
