HYMN 105.

Saviour! When in dust to Thee
Lo we bow th' adoring knee,
When repentant, to the skies
Scarce we lift our weeping eyes,
O by all Thy pains and woe
Suffer'd once for man below,
Bending from Thy throne on high,
Hear our solemn Litany!

By Thy helpless infant years,
By Thy life of want and tears,
By Thy days of sore distress
In the lonely wilderness,
By the dread mysterious hour
Of th' insulting Tempter's pow'r,
Turn O turn a fav'ring eye,
Hear our solemn Litany!

By Thy deep expiring groan,
By the sad sepulchral stone,
By the grave whose dark abode,
Held in vain the rising God!
O, from earth to Heav'n restor'd,
Mighty, re-ascended Lord,
Listen, listen to our cry,
Hear our solemn Litany!
