O Man of Sorrows, Come to Me

 

O Man Of Sorrows, Come To Me

 

O Man of Sorrows, come to me. As I lie here broken, I look to Thee

 

Hopes do glimmer and joys do fade, even old pleasures my pain now jades

 

O Man of Sorrows, Acquainted with Grief, who knows my sorrows, which never cease

 

Hope of Glory, My Strength and My Song, my heavy heart need not wait for long

 

O Man of Sorrows, come to me; they gamble my robe away for all to see

 

Even when naked, they cast my lot; despised and rejected they esteemed me not

 

O Man of Sorrows, could it be Thee, an evil imposter has blinded me

 

The Balm of Gilead harkens me now

 

O Man of Sorrows, with blood well-spilt, a Sweet-Smelling Savor, a new creature is built
