That in Thy meekness used to shine,
That lit Thy lonely pathway, trod
In wondrous love, O Son of God!
2 Oh! who like Thee, so calm, so bright,
So pure, so made to live in light?
Oh! who like Thee did ever go
So patient through a world of woe?
3 E'en 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.
4 Oh, in Thy light be mine to go,
Illuming all this way of woe!
And give me ever on the road
To trace Thy footsteps, Son of God!
