By thy birth and by thy tears,
By thy human griefs and fears,
By thy fasting and distress
In the lonely wilderness,
by thy conflict in the hour
Of the subtle tempter’s power,
Jesus look with pitying eye,
Save us, for to thee we cry.
By thy care to furnish food,
For the hungry multitude,
By the tenderness that wept
O’er the grave where Lazarus slept,
by thy tears which once did stream
Over lost Jerusalem,
Look on us with pitying eye,
Save us, for to thee we cry.
By thy load of heavy care,
By thine agony of prayer,
By thy woes, so meekly borne.
‘Midst the scoffs of hate and scorn,
By the obloquy and shame
Cast by sinners on thy name,
Look on us with pitying eye,
Save us, for to thee we cry.
By the cross and dying cries,
By thy one great sacrifice,
By thy triumph o’er the grave,
By thy boundless power to save,
Jesus, Saviour of the lost,
Giver of the Holy Ghost,
Look on us with pitying eye,
Save us, for to thee we cry.
