Son of Man, I Cry to Thee

Who: Richard Mant was English clergyman from the early 1800's. He is most remembered for his translation, Come, Holy Ghost, Creator Blest.
Changes: I've changed a couple of words to rhyme better.
Tune: The meter is 77 77 77, so I recommend GETHSEMANE, LSB 436.

Son of Man, I cry to Thee;

By the wondrous mystery

Of Thy dwelling here on earth,

By Thy pure and holy birth,

Lord, Thy presence let me see,

Make Thyself known unto me.

Lamb of God, I cry to Thee;

By Thy bitter agony,

By Thy pangs, to us unknown,

By Thy spirit's parting groan,

Lord, Thy presence let me see,

Make Thyself known unto me.

Prince of Life, I cry to Thee;

By Thy glorious majesty,

By Thy triumph o'er the grave,

By Thy might to help and save,

Lord, Thy presence let me see,

Make Thyself known unto me.

Lord of Glory, God Most High,

Man exalted to the sky!

With Thy love my bosom fill;

Prod me to perform Thy will;

Then Thy glory I shall see,

Thou wilt bring me home to Thee.

Richard Mant, alt.
