Lyrics
Verse 1
O sacred head, now wounded, With grief and shame weighed 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.
Verse 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 to Thee.
