Jesus, All Thy Labor Vast - #186

"Jesus, All Thy Labor Vast"
"The Seven Words on the Cross"
by Thomas B. Pollock, 1836-1896

Tune - Septem Verba - linked here

1. Jesus, all Thy labor vast,
All Thy woe and conflict past,
Yielding up Thy soul at last:
Hear us, holy Jesus.

2. When the death shades round us lower,
Guard us from the Tempter's power,
Keep us in that trial hour:
Hear us, holy Jesus.

3. May Thy life and death supply
Grace to live and grace to die,
Grace to reach the home on high:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
