REMEMBERING CALVARY, by                    
First Line: Help me to suffer when I most would spare
Last Line: Remembering calvary.
Subject(s): Calvary


Help me to suffer when I most would spare
My human frame with pain and weakness spent,
Help me receive with open arms nor dare
To flinch at pain but count myself content,
And all that has been and that is to be
Help me to bear,
Remembering Calvary.

Help me to leash the hounds of my desire,
Taming them to a more submissive will,
Help me to tune again a broken lyre
And find that there is music in it still,
Help me to do these things all cheerfully,
Nor count the cost,
Remembering Calvary.
