Low we bow th'adoring knee;
When, repentant, to the skies
Scarce we lift our streaming eyes:
Oh! by all Thy pain and woe
Suffer'd once for man below,
Bending from Thy throne on high,
Hear Thy people while they cry.
2 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 Thy people while they cry.
3 By Thine hour of dark despair,
By Thine agony of prayer,
By the 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;
Hear Thy people while they cry.
4 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;
Mighty God, ascended Lord,
To Thy throne in heaven restored,
Saviour, Prince, exalted high,
Hear Thy people while they cry.
Saviour, when in dust, to Thee
