Before the cock crew twice--
dread hour of trial--
the Apostle uttered thrice
his dark denial.
And then the Savior turned,
on Peter gazing--
a look divine, that yearned
with love amazing.
Swiftly to Peter's face
the shame came leaping;
he had denied such grace,
and went out weeping.
Lord Jesus, look on me,
your kind face turning;
my soul with agony
of sin is burning.
The way is long, I find
my weak steps failing:
O turn, to my dark mind
your grace recalling.
Oft, oft with weeping eyes
I gaze to heaven;
then, at your look, arise
restored, forgiven.
