- 1Arise, my tenderest thoughts, arise;
- To torrents melt, my streaming eyes;
- And thou, my heart, with anguish feel
- Those evils which thou canst not heal.
- 2See human nature sunk in shame;
- See scandals poured on Jesus' name;
- The Father wounded thro' the Son;
- The world abused, the soul undone.
- 3My God, I feel the mournful scene;
- My spirit yearns o'er dying men;
- And fain my pity would reclaim
- And snatch the firebrands from the flame.
- 4But feeble my compassion proves,
- And can but weep where most it loves;
- Thy own all-saving arm employ,
- And turn these drops of grief to joy.
