Jesus Whelmed in Fears Unknown - #183

"Jesus, Whelmed in Fears Unknown"
"The Seven Words on the Cross"
by Thomas B. Pollock, 1836-1896

Tune - Septem Verba - linked here

1. Jesus, whelmed in fears unknown,
With our evil left alone,
While no light from heaven is shown:
Hear us, holy Jesus.

2. When we vainly seem to pray
And our hope seems far away,
In the darkness be our Stay:
Hear us, holy Jesus.

3. Though no Father seem to hear,
Though no light our spirits cheer,
May we know that God is near:
Hear us, holy Jesus.
