O Sacred Head, Now Wounded

Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153; James W. Alexander, 1804-1859; Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676 Appears in 736 hymnals Topics: Ancient Hymns Lyrics: 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, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace. 3 What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest friend, For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine forever; And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love to Thee. Amen. Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE

How good to those who seek! 3 But what to those who find? Ah, this nor tongue nor pen can show; the love of Jesus, what it is, none but his loved ones know. 4 Jesus, our only joy be thou, as thou our prize wilt be; Jesus, be thou our glory now, and through eternity.
