about

Attributed to Elkanah Kelsey Dare (1782-1826). Words by Charles Wesley.

This lovely folk hymn wa credited to the Rev. Elkanah Kelsy Dare in John Wyeth's 'Repository of Sacred Music, Part Second' (1813), of which Dare was apparently the music editor. The piece had previously appeared in Amos Pilsbury's 'The United States' Sacred Harmony' (1799).

lyrics

Thou Man of grief, remember me,
Thou never canst Thyself forget.
Thy last expiring agony,
Thy fainting pangs and bloody sweat.

Father, if I may call Thee so,
Regard my fearful heart's desire;
Remove this load of guilty woe,
Nor let me in my sins expire!

I tremble, lest the wrath divine,
Which bruises now my wretched soul,
Should bruise this wretched soul of mine,
Long as eternal ages roll.
