Song language: English
O Sacred Head Now Wounded |
O sacred Head, now wounded |
With grief and shame weighed down |
Now scornfully surrounded |
With thorns, Thine only crown |
How pale thou art with anguish |
With sore abuse and scorn |
How does that visage languish |
Which once was bright as morn |
What thou my Lord has suffered |
Was all for sinner’s gain |
Mine, mine was the transgression |
But thine the cruel pain |
Lo, here I fall my Saviour |
Turn not from me thy face |
But look on me with favour |
Vouchsafe me to thy grace |
What language shall I borrow |
To thank thee dearest friend |
For this thy dying sorrow |
Thy pity without end |
O make me thine forever |
And should I fainting be |
Lord let me never, never |
Outlive my love for thee |
Be near me Lord when dying |
O show thy cross to me |
And my last need supplying |
Come Lord and set me free |
