LyicsLowly and solemn be
Thy children's cry to thee,
Father divine;
A hymn of suppliant breath,
Owning that life and death
Alike are thine.
O, Father, in that hour
When earthly help and power
Are all in vain;
When spear and shield and crown
In faintness are cast down,
Do thou sustain.
By him who bowed to take
The death-cup for our sake,
The thorn and rod;
From whom the last dismay
Was not to pass away,
Aid us, O God.
Trembling beside the grave,
We call on thee to save,
Father divine;
Hear, hear our suppliant breath,
Keep us, in life and death,
Thine, only thine.
