Hymn 230 — O Lord, when we the path retrace
| 230 | J. G. DECK (1807-1884) | C.M. |
| 1 |
O Lord, when we the path retrace Which Thou on earth hast trod, To man Thy wondrous love and grace, Thy faithfulness to God:-- | |
| 2 |
Faithful amidst unfaithfulness, 'Mid darkness only light, Thou didst Thy Father's name confess, And in His will delight; | |
| 3 |
Unmoved by Satan's subtle wiles, Or Suff'ring, shame and loss, Thy path, uncheered by earthly smiles, Led only to the cross; | |
| 4 |
Thy love, by man so sorely tried, Proved stronger than the grave; Though man in hatred pierced Thy side, Thy blood love's answer gave:-- | |
| 5 |
We wonder at Thy lowly mind, And fain would like Thee be, And all our rest and pleasure find In learning, Lord, from Thee. | |
