Weep not for him who onward bears

Author: Rev. Thomas B. Pollock Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Weep not Him who onward bears His cross to Calvary; He does not ask man's pitying tears, Who wills for man to die. 2 The awful sorrow of His face, The bowing of His frame, Come not from torture of disgrace; He fears not cross or shame. 3 There is a deeper pang of grief, An agony unknown, In which His love finds no relief; He bears it all alone. 4 He thinks of all for whom His life Of lowliness and pain, And weariness and care and strife Will be, alas, in vain. 5 He sees the souls for whom He dies Yet clinging to their sin, And heirs of mansions in the skies Who will not enter in. 6 Ah! this, my Saviour, was the shame That bowed Thy head so low, These were the wounds that wracked Thy frame, And made Thy tears to flow. 7 O may I in Thy sorrow share, And mourn that sins of mine Should ever wound with grief or care That loving heart of Thine. Amen.

Weep Not for Him Who Onward Bears

Author: Thomas B. Pollock Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7574 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Weep not for Him who onward bears His cross to Calvary; He does not ask man’s pitying tears, Who wills for man to die. 2. The awful sorrow of His face, The bowing of His frame, Come not from torture or disgrace; He fears not cross or shame. 3. There is a deeper pang of grief, An agony unknown, In which His love finds no relief; He bears it all alone. 4. He thinks of all for whom His life Of lowliness and pain, And weariness and care and strife, Will be, alas, in vain. 5. He sees the souls for whom He dies Yet clinging to their sin, And heirs of mansions in the skies Who will not enter in. 6. Ah! this, my Savior, was the shame That bowed Thy head so low; These were the wounds that racked Thy frame, And made Thy tears to flow. 7. O may I in Thy sorrow share, And mourn that sins of mine Should ever wound with grief or care That loving heart of Thine. Languages: English Tune Title: CHESHIRE

Henry Purcell

1659 - 1695 Person Name: H. Purcell, 1658-1695 Composer of "BURFORD" in Church Hymns Henry Purcell (b. Westminster, London, England, 1659; d. Westminster, 1695), was perhaps the greatest English composer who ever lived, though he only lived to the age of thirty-six. Purcell's first piece was published at age eight when he was also a chorister in the Chapel Royal. When his voice changed in 1673, he was appointed assistant to John Hingston, who built chamber organs and maintained the king's instruments. In 1674 Purcell began tuning the Westminster Abbey organ and was paid to copy organ music. Given the position of composer for the violins in 1677, he also became organist at Westminster Abbey in 1679 (at age twenty) and succeeded Hingston as maintainer of the king's instruments (1683). Purcell composed music for the theater (Dido and Aeneas, c. 1689) and for keyboards, provided music for royal coronations and other ceremonies, and wrote a substantial body of church music, including eighteen full anthems and fifty-six verse anthems.

Thomas Benson Pollock

1836 - 1896 Person Name: Thomas Benson Pollock, 1836-96 Author of "Weep not for Him who onward bears" in The Methodist Hymn-Book with Tunes Pollock, Thomas Benson, M.A., was born in 1836, and graduated at Trinity College, Dublin, B.A. 1859, M.A. 1863, where he also gained the Vice-Chancellor's Prize for English Verse in 1855. Taking Holy Orders in 1861, he was Curate of St. Luke's, Leek, Staffordshire; St. Thomas's, Stamford Hill, London; and St. Alban's, Birmingham. Mr. Pollock is a most successful writer of metrical Litanies. His Metrical Litanies for Special Services and General Use, Mowbray, Oxford, 1870, and other compositions of the same kind contributed subsequently to various collections, have greatly enriched modern hymnbooks. To the 1889 Supplemental Hymns to Hymns Ancient & Modern, Mr. Pollock contributed two hymns, “We are soldiers of Christ, Who is mighty to save" (Soldiers of Christ), and "We have not known Thee as we ought" (Seeking God), but they are by no means equal to his Litanies in beauty and finish. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) =================== Pollock, T.
