O Sacred Head, Now Wounded
1. 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.
2. 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.
