When, along life's thorny road,
Faints the soul beneath the load,
By its cares and sins oppressed,
Finds on earth no peace or rest;
When the wily tempter's near,
Filling us with doubts and fear,
Jesus, to thy feet we flee;
Jesus, we will look to thee.
Thou, our Saviour, from the throne
Listening to thy people's moan:
Thou, the living Head, dost share
Every pang thy members bear:
Full of tenderness thou art,
Thou wilt heal the broken heart;
Full of power, thine arm shall quell
All the rage and might of hell.
Mighty to redeem and save,
Then hast overcome the grave:
Thou the bars of death hast riven,
Opened wide the gate of heaven:
Soon in glory thou shalt come,
Taking thy poor pilgrims home:
Jesus, then we all shall be
Ever, ever, Lord, with thee!
