Lord, Through This Holy Week of Our Salvation

Lord

through this ho­ly week of our sal­va­tion

Which Thou hast won for us who went as­tray

In all the con­flict of Thy sore temp­ta­tion

We would con­tin­ue with Thee day by day.

We would not leave Thee

Though our weak en­dur­ance

Make us un­wor­thy here to take our part;

Yet give us strength to trust the sweet as­sur­ance

That Thou

O Lord

art great­er than our heart.

Thou didst for­give Thine own

Who slept for sor­row

Thou didst have pi­ty

O have pi­ty now

And let us watch through

Each sad eve and mor­row

With Thee

in ho­ly pray­er and so­lemn vow.

Along that sac­red way where Thou art lead­ing

Which Thou didst take

To save our souls from loss

Let us go al­so

till we see Thee plead­ing

In all pre­vail­ing pray­er up­on Thy cross.

Until Thou see Thy bit­ter tra­vail’s end­ing

The world re­deemed

the will of God com­plete

And

to Thy Fa­ther’s hands

Thy soul com­mend­ing

Thou lay the work He gave Thee at His feet.
