Original text and translations
English text
- 1.
- O word of pity, for our pardon pleading,
- Breathed in the hour of loneliness and pain;
- O voice, which through the ages interceding,
- Calls us to fellowship with God again.
- 2.
- O word of comfort, through the silence stealing,
- As the dread act of sacrifice began;
- O infinite compassion, still revealing
- The infinite forgiveness won for man.
- 3.
- O word of hope to raise us nearer heaven,
- When courage fails us and when faith is dim;
- The souls for whom Christ prays to Christ are given,
- To find their pardon and their joy in Him.
- 4.
- O Intercessor, who art ever living
- To plead for dying souls that they may live,
- Teach us to know our sin which needs forgiving,
- Teach us to know the love which can forgive.
Lyrics: Ada R. Greenaway, in Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1904
