[The holy Jesus rests in hope]
HYMN VI.
“Into Thy hands I commend My spirit.”
—Luke xxiii. 46.
The holy Jesus rests in hope,
And calm in death on God relies;
His parting spirit He gives up
Into His Father's hands, and dies.
And calm in death on God relies;
His parting spirit He gives up
Into His Father's hands, and dies.
Meek, patient Lamb, for us He gives
The life which none could take away,
And lays it down, and God receives
His soul into eternal day.
The life which none could take away,
And lays it down, and God receives
His soul into eternal day.
O might I thus my warfare end,
Meekly to God my soul resign,
Into my Father's hands commend!
O Jesus, let Thy death be mine!
Meekly to God my soul resign,
Into my Father's hands commend!
O Jesus, let Thy death be mine!
I long with Thee to bow my head,
Offer'd upon Thy sacrifice;
With Thee to sink among the dead,
And in Thy life triumphant rise.
Offer'd upon Thy sacrifice;
With Thee to sink among the dead,
And in Thy life triumphant rise.
