My Lord, my Master,
at Thy feet adoring,
I see Thee bowed beneath
Thy load of woe;
For me, a sinner,
is Thy life blood pouring;
For Thee, my Savior,
scarce my tears will flow.
Thine own disciple to
the Jews has sold Thee,
With friendship’s kiss
and loyal word he came;
How oft of faithful love
my lips have told Thee,
While Thou hast seen
my falsehood and my shame.
With taunts and scoffs they mock
what seems Thy weakness,
With blows and outrage
adding pain to pain;
Thou art unmoved and steadfast
in Thy meekness;
When I am wronged
how quickly I complain!
My Lord, my Savior,
when I see Thee wearing
Upon Thy bleeding brow
the crown of thorn,
Shall I for pleasure live,
or shrink from bearing
Whate’er my lot may be
of pain or scorn?
O Victim of Thy love,
O pangs most healing,
O saving death, O wounds that I adore,
O shame most glorious!
Christ, before Thee kneeling,
I pray Thee keep me
Thine for evermore.
