“Reproach hath broken my heart.” Ps. 69. 20
1
O that our flinty hearts could melt,
 
While to remembrance, Lord, we call
 
Part of that weight which thou hast felt;
 
For who can comprehend it all?
2
Ye sinners, while these symbols dear
 
Present your suffering Lord to view,
 
Drop the soft tribute of a tear,
 
For he shed many a tear for you.
3
In the sad garden, on the wood,
 
His body bruised, from every part
 
Poured on the ground a purple flood,
 
Till sorrow broke his tender heart.
4
Lord, while we thus show forth thy death,
 
O send thy Spirit from above;
 
Help us to feed on thee by faith,
 
And sigh, and sing, and mourn, and love.
