Alone now going forth, O Lord



Author: Peter Abelard



Alone now going forth, O Lord,

in sacrifice to die;

is all your sorrow naught to us

who pass unheeding by?



Our sins, not yours, you bear, dear Lord;

make us your sorrow feel,

till through our pity and our shame

love answers love's appeal.



This is earth's darkest hour, but you

can light and life restore;

then let all praise be given to you

who lives for evermore.



Grant us to suffer with you, Lord,

that, as we share this hour,

your cross may bring us to your joy

and resurrection power.
