Ye wretched sons of men draw near

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Mark 14 Lyrics: 1 Ye wretched sons of men draw near, The cries and groans of Jesus hear; Come see the blessed lamb of God, There shedding of his precious Blood, 2 Behold him wounded scourg'd & bruis'd Mock'd, and slander'd, and abus'd; O hear his cries upon the tree: Why hath my God forsaken me! 3 His pain, his anguish, and distress, No heart can feel, no tongue express; When all the powers of Hell broke in, And Christ bore all the weight of sin. 4 When Jesus to the Cross was nail'd, The Sun was all in darkness vail'd; The Rocks were rent when Jesus cried! The earth was shaken when he died. 5 The heavens their black curtains drew, Such mournful scenes they could not view; It was too much for human eye, To see the King of Glory die. 6 How dark and awful was the day, When Jesus died to take away; Our curse and punishment and pain, For which he died and rose again.

O the wormwood and gall! O the grief his souls sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; learn of him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb; there, adoring at his feet, mark that miracle of time— God's own sacrifice complete.

O who am I, that for my sake My Lord should take frail flesh and die? 2 He came from his blest throne Salvation to bestow; But men made strange, and none The longed-for Christ would know. But, oh, my Friend, my Friend indeed, Who at my need His life did spend! 3 Sometimes they strew His way, And His sweet praises sing; Resounding all the way Hosannas to their King: Then “Crucify!” is all their breath, And for His death they thirst and cry. 4 Why, what hath my Lord done? What makes this rage and spite? He mad the lame to run, He gave the blind their sight. Sweet injuries! is all their breath, Themselves displease and 'gainst him rise. 5 They rise, and needs will have My dear Lord made away; A murderer they saved, The Prince of life they slay, Yet cheerful He to suff'ring goes, That He His foes from thence might free.
