1. Ó, fronte ensanguentada,
Em tanto opróbrio e dor!
De espinhos, coroada,
Com ódio e com furor!
Tão gloriosa, outrora!
Tão bela, varonil!
Tão abatida agora,
De afronta, escárnio vil!

2. Tão humilhada, pende
A face do Senhor.
Não vive, não resplende,
Já não tem luz nem cor!
Ó, crime inominável,
Fazer anuviar
O brilho inigualável
De um piedoso olhar!

3. Sê meu Refúgio forte,
Meu Guia, Vida e Luz!
Que eu sinta, vendo a morte,
Conforto em Tua cruz.
Na cruz, com fé, me abrigo;
Se eu vir que ao lado estás,
Eu me unirei contigo,
E hei de dormir em paz!

He served the Lutheran parish of Mittenwalde near Berlin (1651-1657) and the great St. Nicholas' Church in Berlin (1657-1666). Friederich William, the Calvinist elector, had issued an edict that forbade the various Protestant groups to fight each other. Although Gerhardt did not want strife between the churches, he refused to comply with the edict because he thought it opposed the Lutheran "Formula of Concord," which condemned some Calvinist doctrines. Consequently, he was r… Go to person page >
