O Saviour We Would Contemplate Thee

by William Anglin


Tune: Meditation 9s


1 O SAVIOUR we would contemplate Thee
In all Thy pathway here so lowly,
Thy life so pleasing to Thy Father,
So perfect, faithful, and so holy.

2 Though Son of God, yet Man of Sorrows,
With human grief Thou wast acquainted,
Through want and woe Thy pathway leading,
Yet ever wast with sin untainted.

3 O Lord, we see Thee in the garden,
In agony of intercession,
With falling blood-drops, tears and crying,
We contemplate Thy holy passion.

4 O Saviour, we Thy cross remember,
When Thou, the weight of sin enduring,
Becam'st the holy spotless Victim,
For us eternal life securing.

5 By faith we see Thee high exalted,
The crown of glory ever wearing,
Where every heart and voice united,
"The Lamb is worthy" are declaring.

It is sung a bit too fast here and the duration of the fourth note on each of the first three lines (in verse 1, "we", "path-", and "pleas-") should be held for 5 beats not 3. It is generally sung at the breaking of bread and therefore not usually recorded but I'll see what I can find.
