Father! Who in the Olive Shade

Father! who in the ol­ive shade

When the dark hour came on

Didst

with a breath of heav­en­ly aid

Strengthen Thy Son;

O

in the ang­uish of our night

Send Thou us blest re­lief;

And to the chast­ened

let Thy might

Hallow this grief!

And Thou

that

when the star­ry sky

Saw the dread strife be­gun

Didst teach ador­ing faith to cry

Thy will be done!

By Thy meek spir­it

Thou

of all

That e’er have mourned the chief

Thou Sav­ior! when the stroke doth fall

Hallow this grief!
