Weep Not For Him Who Onward Bears

Thomas Pollock

22 Verses Atonement & Redemption

Verse 1

Weep not for Him Who onward bears

Verse 2

His cross to Calvary;

Verse 3

He does not ask mans pitying tears,

Verse 4

Who wills for man to die. The awful sorrow of His face,

Verse 5

The bowing of His frame,

Verse 6

Come not from torture or disgrace;

Verse 7

He fears not cross or shame. There is a deeper pang of grief,

Verse 8

An agony unknown,

Verse 9

In which His love finds no relief;

Verse 10

He bears it all alone. He thinks of all for whom His life

Verse 11

Of lowliness and pain,

Verse 12

And weariness and care and strife,

Verse 13

Will be, alas, in vain. He sees the souls for whom He dies

Verse 14

Yet clinging to their sin,

Verse 15

And heirs of mansions in the skies

Verse 16

Who will not enter in. Ah! this, my Savior, was the shame

Verse 17

That bowed Thy head so low;

Verse 18

These were the wounds that racked Thy frame,

Verse 19

And made Thy tears to flow. O may I in Thy sorrow share,

Verse 20

And mourn that sins of mine

Verse 21

Should ever wound with grief or care

Verse 22

That loving heart of Thine.
