How wondrous was the burning zeal
Which filled the Master’s breast,
When, all his sufferings full in view,
To Salem’s towers he pressed!
Dear Lord! no tongue can duly tell
Thy love’s prevailing might;
No thought can comprehend its length,
And breadth, and depth, and height!
Yet grant that we may follow thee thee
Through all thine hours of scorn;
And learn with thee to watch and pray,
With thee to weep and mourn.
And still, O blesséd Jesus Christ!
The more thy cross we see,
The more may each exclaim with joy,
The Saviour died for me!
