O Darkest Woe |
Unknown, 1628, v.1, Johann Rist, 1641, v.2-8; German text
O darkest woe! Ye tears, forth flow! Has earth so sad a wonder? God the Father's only Son Now is buried yonder.
2. O sorrow dread!
3. O sinful man! | 4. Lo, stained with blood, The Lamb of God, The Bridegroom, lies before thee, Pouring out His life that He May to life restore thee.
5. O Ground of faith,
7. Oh. blest shall be |
8. O Jesus blest, My Help and Rest With tears I now entreat Thee: Make me love Thee to the last, Till in heaven I greet Thee! |
