LyicsFULL of trembling expectation,
Feeling much and fearing more,
Mighty God of my salvation!
I Thy timely aid implore.
Suff'ring Son of man, be near me,
All my suff'rings to sustain;
By Thy sorer griefs to cheer me,
By Thy more than mortal pain.
By Thy most severe temptation
In that dark, Satanic hour;
By Thy last, mysterious passion,
Screen me from the adverse pow'r;
By Thy fainting in the garden,
By Thy bloody sweat, I pray,
Write upon my heart the pardon;
Take my sins and fears away.
