The Hymnal ‎#208

208. O who like Thee so calm so bright

1 O who like Thee so calm, so bright,
Thou Son of Man, Thou Light of Light!
O who like Thee did ever go
So patient through a world of woe!

2 O who like Thee so humbly bore
The scorns, the scoffs of men before;
So meek, forgiving, Godlike, high,
So glorious in humility!

3 And all Thy life's unchanging years,
A man of sorrows and of tears,
The cross, where all our sins were laid,
Upon Thy bending shoulders weighed;

4 And death, which sets the prisoner free,
Was pang, and scoff, and scorn to Thee;
Yet love through all Thy torture glowed,
And mercy with Thy life-blood flowed.

5 O in Thy light be mine to go,
Illumining all this way of woe;
And give me ever on the road
To trace Thy footsteps, Son of God.
