[How shall I that love attain]
Be pitiful.
—iii. 8.
How shall I that love attain,
Love, inexplicably kind,
Love which feels another's pain,
Generous, pure, and unconfined,
Love which bleeds for friend and foe,
Grasps an universe of woe!

Generous, pure, and unconfined,
Love which bleeds for friend and foe,
Grasps an universe of woe!
Father, manifest Thy Son
Full of pitying grace, in me:
Then I put His bowels on,
Sinners with His eyes I see,
Sinners with His heart embrace,
Glad to die for all the race.
