Hymn about the doubting Thomas (disciple and later Apostle to India) : lyric by J.R. Darbyshire

 Who dreads, yet undismayed

Dares face his terror;

Who errs, yet having strayed

Avows his error --

Him let St. Thomas guide,

Who stirred his fellows' pride

To move to death beside

Their Lord and Master!


Who longs for guidance clear

When doubts assail him,

Nor dares to move for fear

Lest faith should fail him --

For such let Christ's reply

To his discples' cry

'I AM THE WAY,' supply

The light in darkness.


Who grieves that love lies dead

On fate's wheel broken;

And stands uncomforted

By any token --

His faith shall be restored

By Christ's compelling word

When Thomas saw the Lord,

And seeing worshipped!
