Verse 1

Out of the depths to Thee I cry, Whose fainting footsteps trod The paths of our humanity, Incarnate Son of God!

Verse 2

Thou Man of grief, who once apart Didst all our sorrows bear, The trembling hand, the fainting heart, The agony, and prayer!

Verse 3

This is the consecrated dower Thy chosen ones obtain, To know Thy resurrection power Through fellowship of pain.

Then, O my soul, in silence wait! Faint not, O faltering feet! Press onward to that blest estate, In righteousness complete.

Let faith transcend the passing hour, The transient pain and strife; Upraised by an immortal power, The power of endless life.
