LyicsSaviour, when in dust to thee
Low we bow th' adoring knee:
When repentant, to the skies
Scarce we lift our streaming eyes;
O, by all thy pains and wo,
Suffered once for man below,
Bending 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 vict'ry in the hour
Of the subtle tempter's power;
Jesus look with pitying eye,
Hear our humble, earnest cry.
By thy deep expiring groan,
By the seal'd sepulchral stone,
By thy triumph o'er the grave,
By thy power from death to save:
Dying, ris'n, ascended, Lord.
To thy throne in heaven restored,
Bending from thy throne on high,
Hear us when to thee we cry.
