Through forty days of mystic fast;

And through the earthquake, storm, and flame,

Thrilled to the still small voice at last;

And learned, when every hope looked dim,

That unknown thousands prayed with him!

Come, rest with Me on that stern bed

Whose tortures were endured for you;

Till faith and patience perfected,

There, where I triumphed, triumph too.

Who share the Paschal nail and thorn,
