2 For ever on Thy burdened heart
A weight of sorrow hung; Yet no ungentle, murmuring word Escaped Thy silent tongue.
3 Thy foes might hate, despise, revile,
Thy friends unfaithful prove; Unwearied in forgiveness still, Thy heart could only love. |
4 Oh, give us hearts to love like Thee,
Like Thee, O Lord, to grieve Far more for others' sins, than all The wrongs that we receive.
5 One with Thyself, may every eye
In us, Thy brethren, see That gentleness and grace which spring From union, Lord, with Thee.
E. Denny, 1839

2 A voice by Galilee,
A holier voice I hear: " Love God; thy neighbor love: for see God's mercy draweth near 1"
3 O voice of duty, still
Speak forth: I hear with awe; |
In thee I own the sovereign will, Obey the sovereign law.
4 Thou higher voice of Love, Yet speak thy word in me; Through duty, let me upward move To thy pure liberty.
Rev. Samuel Longfellow, 1864 |
