When Wounded Sore

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #167 (1972) First Line: When wounded sore, the stricken soul Lyrics: 1 When wounded sore, the stricken soul Lies bleeding and unbound, One only hand, a pierced hand, Can salve the sinner’s wound, Can salve the sinner’s wound. 2 When sorrow swells the laden breast, And tears of anguish flow, One only heart, a broken heart, Can feel the sinner’s woe, Can feel the sinner’s woe. 3 When penitence has wept in vain Because of some dark spot, One only stream, a stream of blood, Can wash away the blot, Can wash away the blot. 4 ’T is Jesus’ blood that washes white, This hand that brings relief; This heart that’s touched with all our joys, And feeleth for our grief, And feeleth for our grief. 5 Lift up thy bleeding hand, O Lord, Unseal that cleansing tide; We have no shelter from our sin But in thy wounded side, But in thy wounded side.
