- 1Jesus, full of all compassion,
- Hear Thy humble suppliant’s cry;
- Let me know Thy great salvation;
- See! I languish, faint, and die.
- 2Guilty, but with heart relenting,
- Overwhelmed with helpless grief,
- Prostrate at Thy feet repining,
- Send, oh, send me quick relief!
- 3Whither should a wretch be flying,
- But to Him who comfort gives?
- Whither, from the dread of dying,
- But to Him who ever lives?
- 4While I view Thee, wounded, grieving,
- Breathless, on the cursèd tree,
- Fain I’d feel my heart believing,
- That didst suffer thus for me.
- 5Amen,
