<p>The first verse of this funeral hymn, along with its devotional melody, came accidentally into my hands. As I was greatly pleased with it, I added the other seven as they stand, since I could not be a party to the use of the other verses.</p>

<p>O darkest woe! Ye tears, forth flow!<br>
|
|
Has earth so sad a wonder?<br>
|
|
God the Father’s only Son<br>
|
|
Now lies buried yonder.</p>
|
|
<p>O sinful man, it was the ban<br>
|
|
Of death on thee that brought Him<br>
|
|
Down to suffer for thy sins,<br>
|
|
And such woe hath wrought Him.</p>
|
|
<p>Behold thy Lord, the Lamb of God<br>
|
|
Blood sprinkled lies before thee,<br>
|
|
Pouring out His life that He<br>
|
|
May to life restore thee.</p>
|
|
<p>O Jesus blest, my Help and Rest!<br>
|
|
With tears I pray, Lord hear me,<br>
|
|
Make me love Thee to the last,<br>
|
|
And in death be near me.</p>
