Lord, as to Thy Dear Cross We Flee (EN 1879)

EN 1879 Lord, as to Thy Dear Cross We Flee

Ps.143.9

Versi Version 1

1

Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee,

And plead to be forgiven,

So let Thy life our pattern be,

And form our souls for heaven.

2

Help us through good report and ill

Our daily cross to bear,

Like Thee to do our Father’s will,

Our brethren’s grief to share.

3

Let grace our selfishness expel,

Our earthliness refine,

And kindness in our being dwell,

As free and true as Thine.

4

If joy shall at Thy bidding fly,

And grief’s dark day come on,

We in our turn would meekly cry,

“Father, Thy will be done.”

5

Should friends misjudge, or foes defame,

Or brethren faithless prove,

Then, like Thine own, be all our aim

To conquer them by love.

6

Kept peaceful in the midst of strife,

Forgiving and forgiven,

O may we lead the pilgrim’s life

And follow Thee to Heaven.
