When our heads are bowed with woe

Author: H.H. Milman Appears in 167 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When our heads are bowed with woe, When our bitter tears o'erflow; When we mourn the lost, the dear, Jesus, Son of Mary, hear! 2 Thou our throbbing flesh hast worn, Thou our mortal griefs hast borne, Thou hast shed the human tear; Jesus, Son of Mary, hear! 3 When the solemn death-bell tolls For our own departing souls, When our final doom is near, Jesus, Son of Mary, hear! 4 Thou hast bowed the dying head, Thou the blood of life hast shed, Thou hast filled a mortal bier; Jesus, Son of Mary, hear! 5 When the heart is sad within With the thought of all its sin, When the spirit shrinks with fear, Jesus, Son of Mary, hear! 6 Thou the shame, the grief, hast known, Though the sins were not Thine own; Thou hast deigned their load to bear; Jesus, Son of Mary, hear!

When, streaming from the eastern skies

Author: William Shrubsole Appears in 204 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, streaming from the eastern skies, The morning light salutes mine eyes, O Sun of righteousness divine, On me with beams of mercy shine; Chase the dark clouds of guilt away, And turn my darkness into day. 2 As every day Thy mercy spares, Will bring its trials and its cares, O Savior, till my life shall end, Be Thou my counselor and friend! Teach me Thy precepts all divine, And be Thy great example mine. 3 When each day's scenes and labors close, And wearied nature seeks repose, With pardoning mercy richly blest, Guard me, my Savior, while I rest; And as each morning sun shall rise, O lead me onward to the skies! 4 And at my life's last setting sun, My conflicts o'er, my labors done, Jesus, Thy heavenly radiance shed, To cheer and bless my dying bed; Then from death's gloom my spirit raise, To see Thy face and sing Thy praise.

With broken heart and contrite sigh

Hark! the voice of Jesus crying

Author: D. March Appears in 514 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work today? Fields are white, and harvests waiting, Who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth, Rich reward He offers thee: Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I; send me, send me"? 2 If you cannot cross the ocean, And the heathen lands explore, You can find the heathen nearer, You can help them at your door. If you cannot give your thousands, You can give the widow's mite; And the least you give for Jesus Will be precious in His sight. 3 If you cannot be a watchman, Standing high on Zion's wall, Pointing out the path to heaven, Offering life and peace to all; With your prayers and with your bounties You can do what heaven demands; You can be like faithful Aaron, Holding up the prophet's hands. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the souls of men are dying, And the Master calls for you. Take the task He gives you gladly, Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth-- "Here am I; send me, send me."
