Behold the Savior of the world
Embrued with sweat and gore
Expiring on that shameful cross
Where He our sorrows bore
Compassion for lost human race
Brought down God's only Son
To veil in flesh His radiant face
And for their sins atone
Who can to love His name forbear
That of His sufferings hears
And finds, the ransom of his soul
Was blood as well as tears
Thy sacred blood, O Son of God
Which ran from many a wound
When earth and hell's malicious powers
All compassed Thee around
Joy for Thy torments we receive
Life in Thy death have found
For the reproaches of Thy cross
Shall be with glory crowned
May we a grateful sense retain
Of Thy redeeming love
And live below like those that hope
To live with Thee above
