Benjamin Beddome·Post-Reformation
Verse 1
Did Christ o’er sinners weep,
And shall our cheeks be dry?
Let floods of penitential grief
Burst forth from every eye.
Verse 2
The Son of God in tears--
The wondering angels see!
Be thou astonished, O my soul!
He shed those tears for thee.
Verse 3
He wept--that we might weep--
Each sin demands a tear;
In heaven alone no sin is found,
And there’s no weeping there.

William Williams·Post-Reformation
Verse 1
Beneath thy cross I lay me down,
And mourn to see thy bloody crown;
Love drops in blood from every vein;
Love is the spring of all thy pain.
Verse 2
Here, Jesus, will I ever stay,
And spend my longing hours away;
Think on thy bleeding wounds and pain,
And contemplate thy woes again.
Verse 3
Oh, unmolested, happy rest!
Where inward fears are all suppressed;
Here I shall love, and live secure,
And patiently my cross endure.

Isaac Watts·Post-Reformation
Verse 1
With joy we meditate the grace
Of our High Priest above;
His heart is made of tenderness,
His bowels melt with love.
Verse 2
Touched with a sympathy within,
He knows our feeble frame;
He knows what sore temptations mean,
For he has felt the same.
Verse 3
He, in the days of feeble flesh,
Poured out his cries and tears;
And, in his measure, feels afresh
What every member bears.
Verse 4
Then let our humble faith address
His mercy and his power;
We shall obtain delivering grace
In the distressing hour.

Verse 1
Hail! my ever blessed Jesus!
Only thee I wish to sing.
To my soul, thy name is precious,
Thou, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
Verse 2
Oh! what mercy flows from heaven!
Oh! what joy and happiness!
Love I much? I’ve much forgiven;
I’m a miracle of grace.
Verse 3
Once with Adam’s race in ruin,
Unconcerned in sin I lay;
Swift destruction still pursuing,
Till my Savior passed that way
Verse 4
Witness, all ye host of heaven!
My Redeemer’s tenderness;
Love I much? I’ve much forgiven;
I’m a miracle of grace.
Verse 5
Shout, ye bright angelic choir!
Praise the Lamb enthroned above;
Whilst, astonished, I admire
God’s free grace, and boundless love.
Verse 6
That blest moment I received him,
Filled my soul with joy and peace:
Love I much? I’ve much forgiven;
I’m a miracle of grace.

John Austin·Post-Reformation
Verse 1
Bless’d be thy love, dear Lord!
That taught us this sweet way,
Only to love thee for thyself,
And for that love obey.
Verse 2
Oh, thou, our soul’s chief Hope!
We to thy mercy fly;
Where’er we are, thou canst protect,
Whate’er we need, supply.
Verse 3
Whether we sleep or wake,
To thee we both resign;
By night we see, as well as day,
If thy light on us shine.
Verse 4
Whether we live or die,
Both we submit to thee;
In death we live, as well as life,
If thine in death we be.
John Austin, “Bless'd Be Thy Love, Dear Lord!”
