With tearful eyes I look around

And challenge the cold hand of death To damp th' immortal flame?] 7 Thou know'st I love thee, dearest Lord, But Oh! I long to soar Far from the sphere of mortal joys, And learn to love thee more.

Jesus, full of all compassion

Meter: Irregular Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me Lyrics: 1 Jesus, full of all compassion, Hear thy humble suppliant’s cry; Let me know thy great salvation; See! I languish, faint, and die. 2 Guilty, but with heart relenting, Overwhelm'd with helpless grief, Prostrate at thy feet repenting, Send, O send me quick relief! 3 Whither should a wretch be flying, But to him who comfort gives? Whither, from the dread of dying, But to him who ever lives? 4 While I view thee, wounded, grieving, Breathless, on the cursèd tree, Fain I’d feel my heart believing That Thou suffer'dst thus for me. 5 Without thee, the world possessing, I should be a wretch undone; Search through heaven,--the land of blessing, Seeking good, and finding none. 6 Hear, then, blessed Saviour, hear me! My soul cleaveth to the dust; Send the Comforter to cheer me; Lo! in thee I put my trust. 7 Sav'd--the deed shall spread new glory Through the shining realms above! Angels sing the pleasing story, All enraptur'd with thy love! Scripture: Mark 10:47
