O Lord, when we the path retrace - The path of Christ
(James George Deck/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

The path of Christ.

"Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek
and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
(Matthew 11,29-30)

1. O Lord, when we the path retrace
  which thou on earth hast trod;
to man thy wondrous love and grace,
  thy faithfulness to God; – PDF - Midi

2. thy love, by man so sorely tried,
  proved stronger than the grave;
the very spear that pierced thy side
  drew forth the blood to save;

3. faithful amidst unfaithfulness,
  'midst darkness only light,
thou didst thy Father's name confess,
  and in his will delight;

4. unmoved by Satan's subtle wiles,
  or suffering, shame, and loss,
thy path, uncheered by earthly smiles,
  led only to the Cross; –

5. O Lord, with sorrow, and with shame,
  we meekly would confess,
how little we, who bear thy name,
  thy mind and ways express.

6. Give us thy meek, thy lowly mind;
  we fain would like thee be;
and all our rest and pleasure find
  in learning, Lord, of thee.

James George Deck, Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1906, 43-44.
