When our heads are bowed with woe,

When our bitter tears o’erflow,

When we mom tho lost, the dear,

Jesus, Man of Sorrows, hear!

Thou our throbbing flesh hast worn,

Thou our mortal griefs hast borne,

Thou hast shed the human tear,

Jesus, Man of Sorrow hear!

When the heart is sad within

With the thought of all its sin,

When the spirit shrinks with fear

Jesus, Man of Sorrow, hear!

Thou the shame, the grief, hast known,

Though the sins were not Thine own,

Thou hast deign’d our load to bear,

Jesus, Man of Sorrow, hear!

When the solemn death-bell tolls

For our own departing souls,

When our final doom is near,

Jesus, Man of Sorrow, hear!

Thou hast bow’d the dying Head,

Thou the Blood of life hast shed,

Thou hast fill’d a Mortal bier,

Jesus, Man of Sorrow, hear!
