Arise, my tend'rest Thoughts arise

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #XII (1791) Lyrics: 1 Arise, my tend'rest Thoughts arise, To torrents melt my streaming Eyes! And thou my Heart with Anguish feel, Those Evils which thou can'st not heal. 2 See human nature sunk in Shame! See Scandal pour'd on Jesu's Name! The Father wounded through the Son! The World abus'd, the Soul undone! 3 See the short Course of vain Delight Closing in long and dreadful Night! In Flames that no Abatement know, The briny Tears for Ages flow. 4 My God I feel the mournful Scene; My Bowels yearn o'er dying Men; And fain my Pity would reclaim, And snatch the Fire-brands from the Flame. 5 But feeble my Compassion proves, And can but weep where most it loves; Thine own all saving Arm employ, And turn these Drops of Grief to Joy.

I feel the mournful scene; My bowels yearn o'er dying men; And fain my pity would reclaim, And snatch the firebrands from the flame. 4 But feeble my compassion proves, And can but weep, where most it loves; Thy own all-saving arm employ, And turn these drops of grief to joy.
