Thus they march, the pillar leading, light by night and shade by day, daily on the manna feeding which he gives them when they pray. 4 Savior, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name; fading is the world's best pleasure, all its boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know.

O sacred head, surrounded

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676; H. W. Baker, 1821-1877 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 88 hymnals Scripture: John 10:11 Lyrics: 1 O sacred head, surrounded by crown of piercing thorn! O bleeding head, so wounded, so shamed and put to scorn! Death's pallid hue comes o'er thee, the glow of life decays; yet angel-hosts adore thee, and tremble as they gaze. 2 Thy comeliness and vigour is withered up and gone, and in thy wasted figure I see death drawing on. O agony and dying! O love to sinners free! Jesu, all grace supplying, turn thou thy face on me. 3 In this thy bitter passion, good Shepherd, think of me with thy most sweet compassion, unworthy though I be: beneath thy cross abiding for ever would I rest, in thy dear love confiding, and with thy presence blest.
