O
Sacred Head, Now Wounded
If you are a parent, you know how to love your children
unconditionally. No matter how many mistakes they make or burdens they bear,
you will always love them. God knows His children and He loves us
unconditionally. When Jesus went through the pain and anguish of ridicule and
the grief and shame He bore for us, God never stopped loving Him. In return,
how can you not love a God who loves us as much as He does. We as His children,
love Him unconditionally. It all comes down to grace.
Lyrics by Hans L. Hassler, arranged by J. S. Bach
“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.
O noblest brow and dearest, in other days the world all
feared when Thou appears; What shame on Thee is hurled! How are Thou pale with
anguish, with sore abuse and scorn; How does that visage languish which once
was bright as morn!
What Thou, my Lord, has suffered was all for sinners’
gain. Mine, mine was the transgression, but Thine was deadly pain. Lo, here I
fall my Savior! Tis I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favor, vouch-safe
to me Thy grace.
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.”
