1 A /FY sufferings all to thee are known,
iy±. Tempted in every point like me ;
Regard my grief, regard thy own ;
Jesus, remember Calvary !
2 O call to mind thy earnest prayers,
Thy agony, and sweat of blood,
Thy strong and bitter cries and tears.
Thy mortal groan, " My God ! my God ! "
3 For whom didst thou the cross endure ?
Who nail'd thy body to the tree ?
Did not thy death my life procure ?
O let thy bowels answer me !
1 54- For Mourners
4 Art thou not toueh'd with human woe ?
Hath pity left the Son of Man ?
Dost thou not all my sorrows know,
And claim a share in all my pain ?
5 Have I not heard, have I not known,
That thou, the everlasting Lord,
Whom heaven and earth their Maker own,
Art always faithful to thy word ?
6 Thou wilt not break a bruised reed,
Or quench the smallest spark of grace,
Till through the soul thy power is spread,
Thy all-victorious righteousness.
7 The day of small and feeble things
I know thou never wilt despise ;
I know, with healing in his wings,
The Sun of Righteousness shall rise.
8 With labour faint, thou wilt not fail,
Or, wearied, give the sinner o'er,
Till in this earth thy judgments dwell,
And, born of God, I sin no more.
1 r\ MY God, what must I do ?
^^ Thou alone the way canst show
Thou canst save me in this hour ;
I have neither will nor power :
God if over all thou art,
Greater than my sinful heart,
All thy power on me be shown,
Take away the heart of stone.
2 Take away my darling sin,
Make me willing to be clean :
Convinced of Sin. lOO
Make me willing to receive
All thy goodness waits to give :
Force me, Lord, with all to part ;
Tear these idols from my heart ;
Now thy love almighty show,
Make even me a creature new.
Jesus, mighty to renew,
Work in me to will and do ;
Turn my nature's rapid tide,
Stem the torrent of my pride ;
Stop the whirlwind of my will ;
Speak, and bid the sun stand still ;
Now thy love almighty show,
Make even me a creature new.
