Lyrics

  1. O Savior, thou who wearest
    A crown of piercing thorn,
    The pain thou meekly bearest,
    Weigh'd down by grief and scorn.
    The soldiers mock and flail thee;
    For drink they give thee gall;
    Upon the cross they nail thee
    To die, O King of all.

  2. Thy sacrifice transcended
    The mortal law's demand;
    Thy mercy is extended
    To ev'ry time and land.
    No more can Satan harm us,
    Tho long the fight may be,
    Nor fear of death alarm us;
    We live, O Lord, thru thee.

  3. What praises can we offer
    To thank thee, Lord most high?
    In our place thou didst suffer;
    In our place thou didst die,
    By heaven's plan appointed,
    To ransom us, our King.
    O Jesus, the anointed,
    To thee our love we bring!
