OH, day of deepest sorrow,
Day of unfathomed grief,
When Thou didst taste the horror
Of wrath without relief.
Thou soughtest for compassion,
Some heart Thy grief to know,
To watch Thine hour of passion—
For comforters in woe.
No eye was found to pity,
No heart to share Thy woe,
But shame and scorn and spitting:
None cared Thy name to know.
Then, finished all, in meekness
Thou to Thy Father's hand,
Perfect Thy strength in weakness
Thy spirit didst commend.
O Lord, Thy wondrous story
Our inmost soul doth move;
We ponder o'er Thy glory—
Thy lonely path of love.
