TOWNLEY

Tune Information

Texts

When our heads are bowed with woe,
When our bitter tears o'erflow,
When we mourn the lost, the dear,
Jesu, Son of Mary, hear.

Father, when in love to Thee
Low we bow the adoring knee,
When repentant to the skies
Scarcely do we lift our eyes.
Then, O hear us as we plead
For Thy help in time of need;
Bending from Thy throne on high,
Hear, forgive us when we cry.
