STILL AS OUR DAY.

As thy days so shall thy strength be.

1.

Still as our days our strength shall be,

While still; good Lord, we trust in Thee;

While on Thy promise we depend,

Our Saviour, brother, father, friend,

Our great High Priest, to whom were known

Temptations, troubles, like our own,

Who can be touched with mortal care,

For Thou didst all our sorrows bear.

2.

Oh Lamb of God, the world on Thee,

Hath laid her deep infirmity;

And in the cross that weighed Thee down,

The bitter scourge, the thorny crown,

Thou all her griefs, and all her fears,

Didst bear through all thine earthly years,

The guiltless, for the guilty one,

For man, the Everlasting Son.

3.

Oh Saviour mine, how great the love,

That brought thee from thy throne above!

That love, what seraph’s lyre can tell,

That wondrous love, unspeakable!

So infinite, so all divine,

Unlike all other love but thine,

Like none but Jesu, none but Thee

Thou bleeding Lamb of Calvary!

4.

Give me, Thou glorious Lamb of God,

Daily to walk, where Thou hast trod,

And in adoring rapture grow,

As in thy lowly steps I go.

Give me to ponder, more and more,

Thy word’s, and thy example’s lore,

That walking here, my God with Thee,

Still as my days my strength may be.
