Look bright and not sad, on your pil­grim­age way.
Who sought a mo­ther’s face,
Sinless be tongue and hand,
Why not I? Why not I?
Why not I? Why not I?
Around the ve­ry al­tar, gay
Men’s sin­ful deed has made to bleed
Welcome be ye, Ste­phen and John,
Green pas­tures for the lambs,
No ex­cess he asks again;
For He has felt the same.
How many hearts Thou mightst have had

in­no­cent

Let Christ be your mo­del, that oth­ers may trace
Who grew in years and grace.
Let sim­ple truth be on our lips,
Why not I? Why not I?
Why not I? Why not I?
What pro­fit­ed this great of­fense?
Lest the wrath of right­eous­ness
Welcome Tho­mas Mar­tyr one,
No foes to do them harm,
He de­sires not praise of men.
The great Re­deem­er stood,
How ma­ny souls more wor­thy far
