1
Thou Man of grief, remember me,
Thou never canst Thyself forget.
Thy last expiring agony,
Thy fainting pangs and bloody sweat.


Thou Man of griefs, remember me,, Stanza 1, Lines 1, 2, 3, & 4
2
Father, if I may call Thee so,
Regard my fearful heart's desire;
Remove this load of guilty woe,
Nor let me in my sins expire!


Thou Man of griefs, remember me,, Stanza 3, Lines 1, 2, 3, & 4
3
I tremble, lest the wrath divine,
Which bruises now my wretched soul,
Should bruise this wretched soul of mine,
Long as eternal ages roll.


Thou Man of griefs, remember me,, Stanza 3, Lines 5, 6, 7, & 8
