Author: Bonaventure,?-1274; Frederick Oakley, 1802-1880 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #156 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 In the Lord’s atoning grief
be our rest and sweet relief;
store we deep in heart’s recess
all the shame and bitterness.
2 Thorns, and cross, and nails, and lance,
wounds, our treasure that enhance,
vinegar, and gall, and reed,
and the pang His soul that freed,
3 May these all our spirits sate,
and with love inebriate;
in our souls plant virtue’s root,
and mature its glorious fruit.
4 Crucified! We thee adore,
thee with all our hearts implore;
us with saintly bands unite
in the realms of heavenly light.
5 Christ, by coward hands betrayed,
Christ, for us a Captive made,
Christ, upon the bitter tree
slain for man, be praise to thee. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Good Friday Languages: English Tune Title: ST FULDA
