The way is long and dreary, The path is bleak and bare; Our feet are worn and weary, But we will not despair; More heavy was Thy burden, More desolate Thy way, O Lamb of God, who takest The sin of the world away, Have mercy upon us. The snows lie thick around us, In the dark and gloomy night; And the tempest wails above us, And the stars have hid their light; But blacker was the darkness Round Calvary's Cross that day, O Lamb of God, who takest The sin of the world away, Have mercy upon us. Our hearts are faint with sorrow, Heavy and sad to bear; For we dread the bitter morrow, But we will not despair; Thou knowest all our anguish, And Thou wilt bid it cease; O Lamb of God, who takest The sin of the world away, Give us Thy peace.
