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."
