Exodus 3:7, 8: Jesus, Thou hear'st Thine Israel groan

Jesus, Thou hear'st Thine Israel groan.
Our sorrows all to Thee are known,
(Who struggle from our sins to part.
From man's and Satan's tyranny,)
And while Thou dost our sufferings see,
Thy pitying eye affects Thy heart:

The cruel taskmasters oppress,
Till Thou our captive souls release,
With outstretch'd arm and mighty hand,
Now, Lord, in our behalf come down.
Thine arm extend, Thy strength put on,
And bring us to the promised land.
