When our heads are bowed with woe,

1.

When our heads are bowed with woe,

When our bitter tears o’erflow,

When we mourn the lost, the dear,

Jesus, Man of sorrow, hear!

2.

Thou our throbbing flesh hast worn,

Thou our mortal griefs hast borne,

Thou hast shed the human tear,

Jesus, Man of sorrow, hear!

3.

When the heart is sad within

With the thought of all its sin,

When the spirit shrinks with fear,

Jesus, Man of sorrow, hear.

4.

Thou the shame, the grief, hast known,

Though the sins were not Thine own;

Thou hast deign’d their load to bear;

Jesus, Man of sorrow, hear!

5.

When the solemn death bell tolls,

For our own departing souls,

When our final doom is near,

Jesus, Man of sorrow, hear!

6.

Thou hast bow’d the dying head,

Thou the blood of life hath shed

Thou hast fill’d a mortal brier

Jesus, Man of sorrow, hear!
