See from His hands, His feet, His side,
start
Give them free.
Dew of mer­cy, dew of mer­cy,
Then may we seem, in fan­cy’s ear.
He came in migh­ty pow­er;
’Tis my per­pe­tu­al feast;
In an at­tic cold and bare,
⁠Silent, peace­ful, to and fro,
In an at­tic cold and bare,
I lay my soul be­neath Thy love,
No rush of blind­ing ang­uish,
Hour by hour for strength we pray;
All glid­ing so gent­ly along,
Of Cal­va­ry,
That earth calls peace, we ask for now;
Stands ver­dant through the year.
The thun­der-organ of the cloud,
Among the sons of night,

drop­ping

His blood is drop­ping, drop­ping down,
Listen while they fall,
Dropping, drop­ping, drop­ping, drop­ping,
Dew of mer­cy, how it cheers us,
And think—e’en now, Thy search­ing gaze
And lo, He sent the show­er!
So much al­lures the taste.
See, a woman, gaunt and wan,
⁠On the lit­tle face be­low,
See, a woman, gaunt and wan,
Jesus! nor shall it e’er re­move.
Now like an in­fant cry­ing
From the glass of time away.
Enraptures my soul with a song.
Unheedingly;
With care­less prow.
Let flow­ers fade and fall;
With droop­ing head and branch­es crossed
Who hate the Gos­pel light.
