O word of pity,
for our pardon pleading,
Breathed in the hour
of loneliness and pain;
O voice, which through
the ages interceding,
Calls us to fellowship with God again.
O word of comfort,
through the silence stealing,
As the dread act of sacrifice began;
O infinite compassion, still revealing
The infinite forgiveness won for man.
O word of hope to raise
us nearer heaven,
When courage fails us
and when faith is dim;
The souls for whom Christ prays
to Christ are given,
To find their pardon
and their joy in Him.
O Intercessor, Who art ever living
To plead for dying souls
that they may live,
Teach us to know our sin
which needs forgiving,
Teach us to know the love
which can forgive.
