lyrics

O sacred Head, now wounded, with grief and shame weight down
Now scornfully surrounded with thorns thine only crown
How art thou pale with anguish, with sore abuse and scorn
How does that visage languish, which once was bright as morn!

What language shall I borrow to think Thee, dearest Friend,
For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end?
Oh, make me Thine forever; and should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never outlive my love to Thee

Be near when I am dying, Oh, show Thy cross to me;
And for my succor flying, come Lord, to set me free;
These eyes, new faith receiving, from Thee shall not remove,
For he who dies believing dies safely through Thy love
