"`CHRIST, we turn our eyes to Thee,
`And this mighty mystery!'
Habakkuk exclaimed of old,
In the HOLY SPIRIT bold:
`Thou shalt come in time appointed,
For the help of Thine anointed!'"
Taste of myrrh He deigned to know,
Who redeemed the source of woe:
Now He bids all sickness cease
Through the honeycomb of peace:
And to this world deigns to give
That sweet food by which we live.
Patient LORD! with loving eye
Thou invitest Thomas nigh,
Showing Him that Wounded Side:
While the world is certified,
How the third day, from the grave,
JESUS CHRIST arose to save.
Blest, O Didymus, the tongue
Where that first confession hung:
First the SAVIOUR to proclaim
First the LORD of Life to name:
Such the graces it supplied,
—That dear touch of JESU's side!
