When our bitter tears o'erflow,
When we morn the lost, the dear,

Thou our mortal griefs hast borne,
Thou hast shed the human tear,

With the thought of all its sin,
When the spirit shrinks with fear,

Though the sins were not Thine own;
Thou hast deigned our load to bear,
Jesus, Man of Sorrows, hear!

For our own departing souls,
When our final doom is near,
Jesus, Man of Sorrows, hear!

Thou the Blood of Life hast shed,
Thou hast filled a mortal bier,
Jesus, Man of Sorrows, hear!
