EN 603 Thou That Dost Save Through Pain
Ps.18.27
Versi Version 1
1
Thou that dost save through pain,
And dost, afflicting, bless,
We offer Thee from prostrate hearts
The greater thankfulness.
2
Lord, Thou hast humbled pride—
Hast shown the world at length
What ruthlessness may dwell with power,
What bankruptcy with strength.
3
And teaching us the scorn
Of trifles that beguile
Hast given us, dear God, to live
When life is most worthwhile.
4
We thank Thee for the dream
That heroes dreamed of yore,
Their vision of the good, the will
Earth’s freedom to restore.
5
Spoiled children of the past,
Today, more nobly blest,
We thank Thee Who hast wakened us,
And asked of us our best.
6
God of the young and brave,
Who nothing know of fear,
Who hold the things that life outlast
Than life itself more dear.
7
We thank Thee that our souls
Are strong as theirs to give
All, all we cherish most on earth,
That liberty may live:
8
That we, O Good Supreme,
Still through our tears can see
On death’s pale brow an aureole
Of immortality!
