O Sacred Head Surrounded
By Crown Of Piercing Thorn!
O Bleeding Head So Wounded,
Reviled And Put To Scorn!

Death’s Palid Hue Comes O’er Thee,
The Glow Of Life Decays,
Yet Angel Hosts Adore Thee
And Tremble As They Gaze.

I See Thy Strength And Vigor
All Fading In The Strife,
And Death With Cruel Rigor,
Bereaving Me Of Life;

O Agony And Dying!
O Love To Sinners Free!
Jesus, All Grace Supplying,
O Turn Thy Face On Me.

In This, My Bitter Passion,
Good Shepherd, Think Of Me
With Thy Most Sweet Compassion,
Unworthy Though I Be:

Beneath Thy Cross Abiding
For Ever Would I Rest,
In Thy Dear Love Confiding,
And With Thy Presence Blest.
