1. I hear the voice of woe! I hear a brothers' sigh! Then let my heart with pity flow With tears of love mine eyes. 2. I hear the thirsty cry; The hungry beg for bread; Then let my spring its stream supply, My hand its bounty shed. 3. The debtor humbly sues, Who would, but cannot, pay; And shall I leniency refuse, Who need it every day? 4. And shall not wrath relent, Touched by that humble strain, My brother crying, "I repent, Nor will offend again"? 5. How else, on soaring wing, Can hope bear high my prayer, Up to Thy throne, my God, my King, To plead for pardon there? Forgiveness by William Enfield
