"Lord, who can hear of all thy woe" by Joseph Hart. Gadsby Hymn 734. Tune 'Whitewell'.

Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger. (Lamentations 1: 12) And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn. (Zechariah 12:10) And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. (Luke 22:19, 20) Gadsby Hymn 734: 1 Lord, who can hear of all thy woe, Thy groans and dying cries, And not feel tears of sorrow flow, And sighs of pity rise? 2 Much harder than the hardest stone That man’s hard heart must be; Alas! dear Lord, with shame we own That just such hearts have we. 3 The symbols of thy flesh and blood Will (as they have been oft) With unrelenting hearts be viewed, Unless thou make them soft. 4 Dissolve these rocks; call forth the stream, Make every eye a sluice; Let none be slow to weep for him Who wept so much for us. 5 And while we mourn, and sing, and pray, And feed on bread and wine, Lord, let thy quickening Spirit convey The substance with the sign.
