1. Come all ye tender-hearted Christians,
Come join with me to weep and mourn,
To see the man of constant sorrows,
Abased forsaken and forelorn;
The foxes, they have holes prepar-ed,
and birds of air have pleasant nests
But Christ, the Son of Man, worse far-ed,
He had nowhere to go and rest.

5. He did not hide his face from spitting,
Nor cheeks from those who plucked the hair,
Come all ye tender-hearted Christians,
O come and help me drop a tear!
The foxes, they have holes prepar-ed,
and birds of air have pleasant nests
But Christ, the Son of Man, worse far-ed,
He had nowhere to go and rest.
