Lyics

Now, let our mournful songs record

The sorrows of our dying Lord,

When he complain'd in tears and blood,

As one forsaken by his God.



They wound his head, his hands, his feet,

Till streams of blood each other meet;

By lot his garments they divide,

And mock the pangs in which he died.



But God, his Father, heard his cry:

Raised from the dead, he reigns on high; 

The nations learn his righteousness, 

And humble sinners taste his grace.
