O Sacred Head

Author: James Waddell Alexander; Paul Gerhardt; Henri Capieu Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 733 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Love of First Line: O sacred head, sore wounded (Ô douloureux visage) Lyrics: 1 O sacred head, sore wounded, with grief and shame weighed down, now scornfully surrounded with thorns, thine only crown: how art thou pale with anguish, with sore abuse and scorn; how does that visage languish which once was bright as morn! 2 Thy grief and bitter passion were all for sinners' gain; mine, mine was the transgression, but thine the cruel pain. Lo, here I fall, my Saviour, turn not from me thy face; but look on me with favour, 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? O make me thine forever; and should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never outlive my love to thee. 4 Be near me when I am dying, O show thy cross to me; and for my succour flying, come, Lord, to set me free. These eyes, new faith receiving, from thee shall not remove, for all who die believing, die safely through thy love. [French translation under copyright] Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE

We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful, who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer. 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Christ the Saviour is our refuge; take it to the Lord in prayer. Do our friends despise, forsake us? Are we tempted to despair? Jesus' strength will shield our weakness, and we'll find new courage there. Used With Tune: FRIENDSHIP
