MAN OF SORROWS

(written by Kenneth Cope)

 

(Joseph)

Man of sorrows, Man of grief

First believed, then betrayed

Thou who knows me, Friend most sure

Man of counsel, help me to endure

 

King of mercy, Lord of love

Ease the way, calm the storm

I am hated for Thy sake

Come and rescue, Savior, don’t delay

 

Thou, dear Lord, has passed below it all

Felt all pain, every help withdrawn

That Thou may have mercy

Have mercy

Help me, come to me

 

Source of comfort, Prince of peace

Fear’s relief, faith’s reward

I am weary, used and worn

Dear Redeemer, heal and make me whole

Man of sorrows

Jesus, take me home
