EN 4542 Forsaken Once, and Thrice Denied

John.21.16

Versi Version 1

1

Forsaken once, and thrice denied,

The risen Lord gave pardon free,

Stood once again at Peter’s side,

And asked him, “Lov’st thou Me?”

2

How many times with faithless word

Have we denied His holy Name,

How oft forsaken our dear Lord,

And shrunk when trial came?

3

Saint Peter, when the cock crew clear,

Went out, and wept his broken faith;

Strong as a rock through strife and fear,

He served his Lord till death.

4

How oft his cowardice of heart

We have without his love sincere,

The sin without the sorrow’s smart,

The shame without the tear!

5

O oft forsaken, oft denied,

Forgive our shame, wash out our sin;

Look on us from Thy Father’s side

And let that sweet look win.

6

Hear when we call Thee from the deep,

Still walk beside us on the shore,

Give hands to work, and eyes to weep,

And hearts to love Thee more.
