John 11:33: Jesus troubled Himself, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Passion'.s turbulent excess,
Pure from sin He could not feel;
Rational was the distress,
Wholly subject to His will:
He who did our nature take.
Would its sinless frailties know,
Freely suffer'd for our sake.
Made Himself the Man of woe.
