When Our Heads Are Bowed With Woe

Henry Milman

6 Verses Comfort In Grief

Verse 1

When our heads are bowed with woe, When our bitter tears oerflow, When we mourn the lost, the dear, Jesus, Son of Mary, hear!

Verse 2

Thou our throbbing flesh hast worn, Thou our mortal griefs hast borne, Thou hast shed the human tear, Jesus, Son of Mary, hear!

Verse 3

When the solemn death bell tolls, For our own departing souls, When our final doom is near, Jesus, Son of Mary, hear!

Verse 4

Thou hast bowed the dying head, With the thought of all its sin, When the spirit shrinks with fear, Jesus, Son of Mary, hear!

Verse 5

When the heart is sad within With the thought of all its sin, When the spirit shrinks with fear, Jesus, Son of Mary, hear.

Verse 6

Thou the shame, the grief, hast known, Though the sins were not Thine own; Thou hast deigned their load to bear; Jesus, Son of Mary, hear!
