A DOXOLOGY

Hallgrim Petursson (1614-1674)
8.7.8.7.8.8.7
Forsaken of God on Calvary
The Saviour Christ hung dying,
That I might ne'er forsaken be,
While on His death relying:
Yea, for the sake of His lone cry,
With ready ear the Lord Most High
Will aye regard my crying.
When from earth's light I pass away,
Sight, hearing, sense declining,
Father, recall Thy Son's dismay,
For Thy felt presence pining;
And by that cry from Calvary's tree
Thy countenance uplift on me,
With gracious welcome shining.
Hallgrim Petursson (1614-1674)
10.10.10.10 D
Thou art, O Christ, the everlasting Son!
Thou, by Thy Death, for sinful man a share
In Thy divine inheritance hast won,

And made him with Thyself, God's Son, co-heir,--

Thyself, the One Begotten of God's love!
Therefore let all the sons of men upraise

To Thee, God's Son, an anthem of high praise,

Through endless days, in earth and heaven above.
