The way is long and dreary,The path is bleak and bare;Our feet are worn and weary,But we will not despair.
More heavy was Thy burthen,More desolate Thy way;-Oh Lamb of God who takest The sin of the world away,Have mercy on us.
The snows lie thick around us In the dark and gloomy night;And the tempest wails above us,And the stars have hid their light;But blacker was the darkness Round Calvary's Cross that day;-Oh Lamb of God who takest The sin of the world away,Have mercy on us.
Our hearts are faint with sorrow,Heavy and hard to bear;For we dread the bitter morrow,But we will not despair:
Thou knowest all our anguish,And Thou wilt bid it cease,-Oh Lamb of God who takest The sin of the world away,Give us Thy Peace!
