rate me

O sacred Head, now wounded<br />

With grief and shame weighed down<br />

Now scornfully surounded<br />

With thorns, Thine only crown<br />

How art Thou pale with anguish<br />

With sore abuse and scorn!<br />

How does that visage languish<br />

Which once was bright as morn! <br />

What Thou, my Lord, has suffered<br />

Was all for sinners' gain<br />

Mine was the transgression<br />

But Thine the deadly pain<br />

Lo, here I fall, my Savior!<br />

'Tis I deserve Thy place<br />

Look on me with Thy favor<br />

Vouch safe to me Thy grace <br />

<br />

Sacred Head now wounded<br />

Sacred Head with shame weighed down <br />

<br />

What language shall I borrow<br />

To thank Thee, dearest Friend<br />

For this Thy dying sorrow<br />

Thy pity without end?<br />

O make me Thine forever!<br />

And should I fainting be<br />

Lord, let me never, never<br />

Outlive my love to Thee! <br />

<br />

Sacred Head now wounded<br />

Sacred Head with shame weighed down <br />

<br />

O sacred Head, now wounded<br />

With grief and shame weighed down<br />

Now scornfully surounded<br />

With thorns, Thine only crown<br />

How art Thou pale with anguish<br />

With sore abuse and scorn!<br />

How does that visage languish<br />

Which once was bright as morn! <br />

<br />

How does that visage languish<br />

Which once was bright as morn! <br />

<br />

Sacred Head now wounded<br />

Sacred Head with shame weighed down
