Hymn

Arise, my ten'drest thoughts, arise

Hymn
Arise, my tend'rest thoughts, arise,
To torrents melt my streaming eyes
And thou, my heart, with anguish feel
Those evils which thou canst not heal.

See human nature sunk in shame!
See scandals poured on Jesus' Name!
The Father wounded thro' the Son
The world abused, the soul undone!

See the short course of vain delight,
Closing in everlasting night-
In flames that no abatement know,
Tho' briny tears forever flow.

My God, I feel the mournful scene!
My bowels yearn o'er dying men!
And fain my pity would reclaim
And snatch the firebrands from the flame.
