- Verse 1
- Man of Sorrows, wrapt in grief,
- Bow Thine ear to our relief;
- Thou for us the path has trod
- Of the righteous wrath of God;
- Thou the cup of fire hast drained
- Till its light alone remained.
- Lamb of love! we look to Thee
- Hear our mournful litany
- Verse 2
- By the garden, fraught with woe,
- Whither Thou full oft wouldst go,
- By Thine agony of prayer
- In the desolation there;
- By the dire and deep distress
- Of that mystery fathomless:
- Lord our tears in mercy see;
- Hearken to our litany.
- Verse 3
- By the chalice brimming o'er
- With disgrace and torment sore;
- By those lips which fain would pray
- That it might but pass away;
- By the heart which drank it dry.
- Lest a rebel race should die
- By Thy pity, Lord our plea:
- Hear our solemn litany.
- Verse 4
- Man of Sorrows! let Thy grief
- Purchase for us our relief;
- Lord of mercy! Bow Thine ear,
- Slow to anger, swift to hear;
- By the Cross's royal road
- Lead us to the throne of God,
- There for aye to sing to Thee
- Heaven's triumphant litany.
