225 O who like Thee, so calm, so bright,
1 O who like Thee, so calm, so bright,
Lord Jesus Christ, Thou Light of light,
O who like Thee did ever go
So patient through a world of woe;
So meek, so lowly, yet so high,
So glorious in humility?
2 O wondrous Lord, our souls would be
Still more and more conformed to Thee,
Would lose the pride, the taint of sin,
That burns these fevered veins within;
And learn of Thee, the lowly one,
And like Thee all our journey run.
3 O grant us ever on the road
To trace the footsteps of our God;
That when Thou shalt appear, arrayed
In light to judge the quick and dead,
We may to life immortal soar,
Through Thee, who livest evermore.
