When our heads are bowed with woe, When our bitter tears o'erflow, When we mourn the lost, the dear----- Jesus, Son of David, hear !
2. Thou our feeble flesh hast worn, Thou our mortal griefs hast borne ; Thou hast shed the human tear : Jesus, Son of David, hear !
3. When the heart is sad within, With the thought of all its sin ; When the spirit shrinks with fear ; Jesus, Son of David, hear !
4. Thou the shame, the grief, hast known ; Though the sins were not Thine own, Thou hast deigned their load to bear : Jesus, Son of David, hear !
5. When our eyes grow dim in death, When we heave the parting breath, When our solemn doom is near----- Jesus, Son of David, hear !
6. Thou hast bowed the dying head; Thou the blood of life hast shed ; Thou hast filled a mortal bier : Jesus, Son of David, hear !
