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.
