Author: Sir Robert Grant Hymnal: Lutherförbundets Sångbok #E78 (1913) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Saviour, when in dust to Thee
Low we bend th'adoring knee;
When repentant, to the skies
Scarce we lift our weeping eyes:
Oh, by all Thy pains and woe,
Suffered once for man below,
Bending from Thy throne on high,
Hear our solemn Litany!
2 By Thy helpless infant years,
By Thy life of want and tears,
By Thy days of sore distress
In the savage wilderness;
By the dread, mysterious hour
Of th'insulting tempter's pow'r;
Turn, oh, turn a fav'ring eye,
Hear our solemn Litany!
3 By Thine hour of dire despair,
By Thine agony of prayer;
By the cross, the nail, the thorn,
Piercing spear, and torturing scorn;
By the gloom that veiled the skies
O'er the dreadful sacrifice;
Listen to our humble cry,
Hear our solemn Litany!
4 By Thy deep expiring groan;
By the sad sepulchral stone,
By the vault whose dark abode
Held in vain the rising God;
Oh, from earth to heav'n restored,
Mighty, reascended Lord,
Listen, listen to the cry
Of our solemn Litany! Topics: Lent Languages: English Tune Title: SPANISH HYMN
