SS&S Hymn #784: Who, who will go to bind the broken heart?

Complete lyrics, stanzas, and pipe organ accompaniment • Sacred Songs & Solos

1
Who, who will go to bind the broken heart?
Burdened with grief and heavy in its woe,
Longing to find in life some better part:
Who, who will go to bind the broken heart?
Lord, here am I; send me! send me!
To bind the broken heart,
To find the better part:
Lord, here am I; send me! send me!
2
Who, who will go to wipe away the tear
From eyes long used to sorrow’s briny flow?
To comfort those who stand beside hope’s bier?
Who, who will go to wipe away the tear?
Lord, here am I; send me! send me!
To wipe away the tear,
To stand beside hope’s bier:
Lord, here am I; send me! send me I
3
Who, who will go to seek the lambs astray?
To lift the fallen where he lies so low,
Into the sunlight of the heavenly way:
Who, who will go to seek the lambs astray?
Lord, here am I; send me! send me!
To seek the lambs astray,
To point the heavenly way:
Lord, here am I; send me! send me!
