Text:	O Dearest Lord, Your Sacred Head
Author:	Henry E. Hardy (Father Andrew, SDC), 1869-1946

1 O dearest Lord, your sacred head
With thorns was pierced for me;
O pour your blessing on my head,
That yours my thoughts may be.

2 O dearest Lord, your sacred hands
With nails were pierced for me;
O pour your blessing on my hands
That yours my works may be.

3 O dearest Lord, your sacred feet
With nails were pierced for me;
O pour your blessing on my feet,
that yours my path may be.

4 O dearest Lord, your Sacred Heart
With spear was pierced for me;
O pour your blessing on my heart,
That yours my life may be.
