O wonder amazing!
At earth’s midnight hour
The ages are gazing
in awe at its power;
The great secret telling,
how anguish is stilled,
The evil dispelling:
The Word is fulfilled.
O hearts that have carried
your sorrows untold,
The Helper that tarried
come here and behold!
What prophets have spoken
the trial ensures,
By tortures unbroken
’tis love that endures.
O love, ceasing never,
from thee what can part?
What height or depth sever
from thy bleeding heart?
Now opens the portal,
O blest Jesu mine!
Of mansions immortal,
of mercy divine.
