Religion
Sixth Sunday in Lent
Translated by Henry Alford (1859) · From The Poetical Works (1859)
Religion
Glory of Thy Father's face,
Fountain deep of love and grace,
Who, Lord, can repay Thee thus,
As Thou gav'st Thyself for us?
What to Thee shall we reply,
Who for us didst bleed and die,
When Thou shalt the question make,
'What have ye done for My sake?
Hard in heart, in action weak,
Lord, Thy grace divine we seek:
Set us from our bondage free;
Draw us, and we follow Thee.
