LyicsSav-ior, when in dust to thee
Low we bow th' a-dor-ing knee;
When, re-pent-ant, to the skies
Scarce we lift our stream-ing eyes;
Oh, by all thy pains and woe,
Suffered once for man be-low,
Bond-ing from thy throne on high,
Hear us when to thee we cry.
By thy birth and early years,
By thy human griefs and fears,
By thy fasting and distress
In the lonely wilderness;
By thy victory in the hour
Of the subtle tempter's power;
Jesus, look with pitying eye,
Hear our humble, earnest cry.
By thine hour of dark despair,
By thine agony of prayer,
By thy purple robe of scorn,
By thy wounds, thy crown of thorn,
By thy cross, thy pangs, and cries,
By thy perfect sacrifice;
Jesus, look with pitying eye,
Listen to our humble cry.
By thy deep, expiring groan,
By the sealed sepulchral stone,
By thy triumph o'er the grave,
By thy power from death to save:
Dying, risen, ascended, Lord,
To thy throne in heaven restored,
Bending from thy throne on high,
Hear us when to thee we cry.
