1. Arise, my tenderest thoughts, arise, (a) | |||
To torrents melt my streaming eyes; (b) | |||
And thou, my heart, with anguish feel | |||
Those evils which thou canst not heal. | |||
2. See human nature sunk in shame; | |||
See scandals poured on Jesus' name; | |||
The Father wounded through the Son, | |||
The world abused, the soul undone. | |||
3. See the short course of vain delight | |||
Closing in everlasting night; | |||
In flames, that no abatement know, | |||
Though briny tears forever flow. | |||
4. My God, I feel the mournful scene; | |||
My bowels yearn o'er dying men; | |||
And fain my pity would reclaim, | |||
And snatch the fire-brands from the flame. | |||
5. But feeble my compassion proves; | |||
And can but weep, where most it loves; | |||
The own all-saving arm employ, | |||
And turn these drops of grief to joy. | |||

1. Arise, my tenderest thoughts, arise, (a)
To torrents melt my streaming eyes; (b)
And thou, my heart, with anguish feel
Those evils which thou canst not heal.
2. See human nature sunk in shame;
See scandals poured on Jesus' name;
The Father wounded through the Son,
The world abused, the soul undone.
3. See the short course of vain delight
Closing in everlasting night;
In flames, that no abatement know,
Though briny tears forever flow.
4. My God, I feel the mournful scene;
My bowels yearn o'er dying men;
And fain my pity would reclaim,
And snatch the fire-brands from the flame.
5. But feeble my compassion proves;
And can but weep, where most it loves;
The own all-saving arm employ,
And turn these drops of grief to joy.
_________
(a) Holden has "my tender thoughts." (b) Holden has "torrents drown my weeping eyes."
