RESURGAM
RESURGAM
Teach me, my God, to bear my cross,
As thine was borne;
Teach me to make of every loss
A crown of thorn.
Give me Thy patience and Thy strength
With every breath,
Until my lingering days at length
Shall welcome death.
Dear Jesus, I believe that Thou
Did’st rise again,
Instill the spirit in me now
That conquers pain.
Give me the grace to cast aside
All vain desire,
All the fierce throbbing of a pride
That flames like fire.
[ 179 ]
