Hymn Context Compare
Hark! what mean those la­men­ta­tions,
With vain re­gret de­plore,
Or man all de­filed,
In mourn­ful sighs de­plore,
They ap­proach an emp­ty tomb.
Still lin­ger round me while life shall last;
In the ten­der Shep­herd’s peace­ful folds?
When ev­il reigns, life’s dark­er depths re­veal­ing,
Save one, save one.
And mocked me as I wailed.
And mocked me as I wailed.
But starv­èd now, and sick, and lame,
Haste to se­cure His heal­ing touch;
To raise us to Your throne
Unprotected, and alone?
We’ll won­der why we doubt­ed Him,
And count each lost and mis­spent day,
Resurrection morn­ing.
Soon thou too wilt be called to leave
At home, my Sav­ior, home with Thee.

sad­ly

’Tis the cry of hea­then na­tions,
That now re­turn no more;
It is some mo­ther’s child.
That now re­turn no more.
As in sor­row on they stray!
Seeking that far off home.
On the lone­ly mount­ains, dark and cold.
Amidst the dis­cord, like sweet mu­sic steal­ing,
Save one, save one;
But nev­er wept for Thee,
But nev­er wept for Thee,
Be sure thou hast been slack,
Jesus of Nazareth pass­eth by.
That we re­ject Your Son.
Counting care­ful­ly, I find
The bur­dens then will seem so light
Nothing but leaves!
Shall be reu­nit­ed there,
Soon, joy­ful­ly wilt thou re­ceive,
Our dear ones in the grave away,
