Slow 𝅗𝅥 = 66.
Melody in German Psalter, 1551.
T. A. L.
THE dying robber raised his aching brow
To claim the dying Lord for company;
And heard, in answer to his trembling vow,
The promise of the King: Thou—even thou—
To-day shalt be in Paradise with me.
2 We too the measure of our guilt confess,
Knowing thy mercy, Lord, our only plea;
That we, like him, through judgement and distress,
For all the weight of our unworthiness,
May win our way to Paradise with thee.
