1 ¡Oh rostro ensangrentado,
imagen del dolor,
que sufres resignado
la burla y el furor!
Soportas la tortura,
la saña, la maldad;
en tan cruel amargura,
¡que grandes es tu bondad!
2 Señor, tu has soportado
lo que yo merecí;
la culpa que has cargado,
cargarla yo debí.
Mas mírame, confío
en tu cruz y pasión.
Otórgame, Dios mío,
la gracia del perdón.
3 Aunque tu vida acaba,
no dejaré tu cruz;
pues cuando errante andaba,
en ti encontré la luz.
Me apacentaste siempre,
paciente cual pastor;
me amaste tiernamente
con infinito amor.

1 O sacred Head, now wounded,
With grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded
With thorns, thine only crown;
O sacred head, what glory,
What bliss till now, was thine!
Yet, though despised and gory,
I joy to call thee mine!
2 What thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners' gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression,
But thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior!
'Tis I deserve thy place;
Look on me with thy favor,
And grant to me thy grace.
3 What language shall I borrow,
To thank thee, dearest friend,
For this thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end?
Oh, make me thine forever;
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Outlive my love to thee.
