From deepest depth, O Lord, I cry to Thee. @3"My Love runs quick to your necessity."@1 I am bereft; my soul is sick with loss. @3"Dear one, I know. My heart broke on the Cross."@1 What most I loved is gone. I walk alone. @3"My Love shall more than fill his place, my own."@1 The burden is too great for me to bear. @3"Not when I'm here to take an equal share."@1 The road is long, and very wearisome. @3"Just on in front I see the light of home."@1 The night is black; I fear to go astray. @3"Hold my hand fast. I'll lead you all the way."@1 My eyes are dim, with weeping all the night. @3"With one soft kiss I will restore your sight."@1 And Thou wilt do all this for me? -- @3for me?@1 @3"For this I came -- to bear you company."@1 |
