O Who Like Thee, So Calm, So Bright

 

VERSE 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!

 

VERSE 2

O who like Thee so humbly bore

The scorn, the scoffs of men before;

So meek, forgiving, Godlike, high

So glorious in humility!

 

VERSE 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.

 

VERSE 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.

 

VERSE 5

O 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.
