Pain of the Passion

orchidee



Tune: Margaret

('O love that wilt not let me go')

Psalm 22 v.1-5 and v.27

**********

My God, why have you me forsaken?

Why you your presence from me taken?

Why so far from helping me today?

My roaring, groaning hear I pray

Bring light unto my day

 

O my God, I cry in daytime

But you her me not in life's rhymes

And in the night too I do cry

Am not silent, to you I fly

O save me, be nwo nigh

 

But Lord, you still are holy

That ever your nature will be

O you that inhabits the praises

Of Israel, worship each raised

Thorough all of life's phases

 

Our fathers they did in you trust

Though they were human too, mere dust

You did hear them, did them deliver

You Saviour, Lord, and life-giver

Who does reign for ever

 

They cried to you, and were delivered

They trusted and were in you assured

They were not confounded, ashamed

For you as their Lord they had named

Their prayers to you they framed

 

The cross does bring to all salvation

Open to all of every nation

All the world shall remember and turn

To the Lord, to Him their hearts burn

They through life Him discern

    Do you sing this poem like a hymn

  • arqios

    Passion and pain are so close their borders intermingle.
