HYMN 132.

When our heads are bowed with woe,
When our bitter tears o'erflow;
When we mourn the lost, the dear,
O Thou gracious Saviour hear.

Thou our sinful flesh hast worn,
Thou our more than griefs hast borne,
Thou hast shed the human tear;
O Thou gracious Saviour hear.

Thou hast bow'd the dying head,
Thou the blood of life hast shed,
Thou hast fill'd a mortal's bier;
O Thou gracious Saviour hear.

When thy heart is sad within,
With the sense of all its sin,
When the spirit shrinks with fear,
O Thou gracious Saviour hear.

Thou the shame, the grief hast known,
Though the sins were not Thine own,
Thou hast deign'd their load to bear,
O Thou gracious Saviour hear.
