O SACRED HEAD SUROUNDED
BY CROWN OF PIERCING THORN
O BLEEDING HEAD SO WOUNDED,
REVILED AND PUT TO SCORN
NO CALMLINESS OR BEAUTY,
THY WOUNDED FACE BETRAYS
YET ANGEL HOSTS ADORE THEE
AND TREMBLE AS THEY GAZE

O LOVE ALL LOVE TRANSCENDING,
O WISDOM FROM ON HIGH
O TRUTH UNCHANGED UNCHANGING,
SURRENDERED UP TO DIE
WAS E'ER A LOVE SO WONDROUS
THAT FROM HIS HEAV'NLY THRONE
GOD SHOULD DESCEND AMONG US
TO SUFFER FOR HIS OWN.
