John 11: We kindly share a mourner's woe

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Religion

We kindly share a mourner's woe,
Stripp'd of the friend awhile bestow'd;
No pity for a soul we show,
Who long by sin has lost its God;
No comfort can that soul receive
But with the hope of Jesus' grace,
Who helps poor sinners to believe,
And still delights the dead to raise.
