For us temptation sharp he knew, for us the tempter overthrew. 3 For us he prayed, for us he taught, for us his daily works he wrought, by words and signs and actions thus still seeking not himself but us. 4 For us to wicked hands betrayed, scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed, he bore the shameful cross and death, for us at length gave up his breath. 5 Eternal glory to our God for love so deep, so high, so broad; the Trinity whom we adore forever and forevermore.
