O LORD, WHEN WE THE PATH RETRACE

 

1. O Lord, when we the path retrace

Which Thou on earth hast trod,

To man Thy wondrous love and grace,

Thy faithfulness to God.

 

2. Thy love, by man so sorely tried,

Proved stronger than the grave;

The very spear that pierced Thy side

Drew forth the blood to save.

 

3. Although Thou passed through woes and grief,

Thy works were ever good;

Although midst sorrows all Thy life,

Thou spak'st no murmuring word.

 

4. Faithful amidst unfaithfulness,

'Mid darkness only light,

Thou did'st Thy Father's name confess,

And in His will delight.

 

5. Unmoved by Satan's subtle wiles,

Or suffering, shame, and loss,

Thy path, uncheer'd by earthly smiles,

Led only to the cross.

 

6. We wonder at Thy lowly mind,

And fain would like Thee be.

And all our rest and pleasure find

In learning, Lord, of Thee.
