Jesus, full of all compassion,
Hear thine humble suppliant's cry;
Let me know thy great salvation, .
See, I languish, faint, and die.
Guilty, but with heart relenting,
Overwhelmed with hopeless grief —
Prostrate at thy feet repenting —
Send, O send me quick relief!
Whither should a wretch be flying,
But to him who comfort gives?
Whither, from the dread of dying,
But to him who ever lives?
While I view thee, wounded, grieving,
Breathless, on the curséd tree,
fain I'd feel my heart believing
Thou didst suffer thus for me.
In the world of endless ruin,
Let it never, Lord, be said,
“Here's a soul that perished, suing
For the boasted Saviour's aid!”
Saved—the deed shall spread new glory
Through the shining realms above;
Angels sing the pleasing story,
All enraptured with thy love.
---Alternative verses---
Jesus, full of all compassion,
Hear thy humble suppliant's cry;
Let me know thy great salvation, .
See, I languish, faint, and die.
Guilty, but with heart relenting,
Overwhelmed with helpless grief —
Prostrate at thy feet repenting —
Send, O send me quick relief!
