O Lord, when we the path retrace

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #122 (1870) Lyrics: 1 O Lord, when we the path retrace Which Thou on earth hast trod; To men Thy wondrous love and grace, Thy faithfulness to God: Thy love, by man so sorely tried, Proves stronger than the grave; The very spear that pierced Thy side Drew forth the blood to save. 2 Faithful amid unfaithfulness, 'Mid darkness only light, Thou didst Thy Father's name confess, And in His will delight; Unmoved by Satan's subtle wiles, Or suff'ring, shame, and loss: Thy path, uncheer'd by earthly smiles, Led only to the cross. 3 O Lord! with sorrow and with shame, Before Thee we confess How little we, who bear Thy name, Thy mind, Thy ways express. Give us Thy meek, Thy lowly mind: We would obedient be; And all our rest and pleasure find In learning, Lord, of Thee.
