Author: Bp. W. W. How Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #5 (1894) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Jesu, crucified for man,
O Lamb, all glorious on Thy throne,
Teach Thou our wond'ring souls to scan
The myst'ry of Thy love unknown.
2 We pray Thee, grant us strength to take
Our daily cross, whate'er it be,
And gladly for Thine own dear sake
In paths of pain to follow Thee.
3 As on our daily way we go,
Thro' light or shade, in calm or strife,
Oh! may we bear Thy marks below
In conquered sin and chastened life.
4 And week by week this day we ask
That holy mercies of Thy cross
May sanctify each common task,
And turn to gain each daily loss.
5 Grant us, dear Lord, our cross to bear
Till at Thy feet we lay it down,
Win thro' Thy blood our pardon there,
And thro' the cross attain the crown.
Amen.
