O the Darkness, O the Sorrow (EN 889)

EN 889 O the Darkness, O the Sorrow

Ps.38.4

Versi Version 1

1

O the darkness, O the sorrow,

O the misery of sin!

When will dawn the promised morrow

That shall bring deliverance in?

2

One there was ordained to languish,

Guiltless, in Gethsemane;

One there was Who died in anguish

Innocent, on Calvary.

3

Jesus was the Burden-bearer,

God’s own Son the Sacrifice;

Of the griefs of man the Sharer,

Of his soul the Ransom-price.

4

’Tis the Christ, the Ever-living,

Ever-loving, Ever-blest,

By the Comforter still giving

Pardon, holiness, and rest.

5

Can the love so freely given,

Can the blood so freely shed,

Fail to draw the earth to Heaven,

Fail to bring alive its dead?

6

Rise, O children of the Father,

Stand, ye brothers of the Son,

In unyielding ranks together

Till the crown of Christ be won;

7

Till the lands of sin and sorrow,

Darker than the ancient night,

Shall behold the promised morrow

Beam on them with saving light.
