Jesus, my sorrow lies too deep

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my sorrow lies too deep For human ministry; It knows not how to tell itself To any but to Thee. 2 Thou dost remember still, amid The glories of God’s throne, The sorrows of mortality, For they were once Thine own. 3 Yes: for, as if Thou wouldst be God, Even in Thy misery, There’s been no sorrow but Thine own, Untouched by sympathy. 4 Jesus, my fainting spirit brings Its fearfulness to Thee; Thine eye, at least, can penetrate The clouded mystery. 5 And is it not, O Lord, enough, This holy sympathy? There is no sorrow e’er so deep But I may bring to Thee. 6 It is enough, my precious Lord, Thy tender sympathy! My every sin and sorrow can Devolve itself on Thee. 7 As God, Thou graspedst e’en the whole Of human misery; Thine own alone lay desolate, That Thou might pitied be. 8 Thy risen life but fits Thee more For kindly sympathy; Thy love unhindered rests upon Each bruisèd branch in Thee. 9 Jesus! Thou hast availed to search My deepest malady; It freely flows—more freely finds The gracious remedy. Used With Tune: PALESTINE Text Sources: The Bible Hymn-Book, 1845

The Reign of Christ

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: O God, to Thy Anointed King Lyrics: 1 O God, to thy Anointed King Give truth and righteousness; Thy people He will justly judge And give the poor redress. 2 Then ev'ry fruitful mountain side Shall yield its rich increase, And righteousness in all the land Shall bear the fruit of peace. 3 The poor man's cause He will maintain, The needy He will bless, And He will break the strength of those Who would the poor oppress. 4 So men shall fear Thee wile the sun In daily splendor glows, And through all ages, while the moon On earth its light bestows. 5 Like rain upon the new-mown grass, That falls refreshingly, Like gentle show'rs that cheer the earth, So shall His coming be. 6 The righteous in His glorious day Shall flourish and increase; The earth, until the moon shall fade, Shall have abundant peace.
