“O Sacred Head, Now Wounded”
What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered,
was all for sinners’ gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression,
but Thine the deadly pain.

but Thine the deadly pain.

over to them to be crucified.
After singing a hymn,

The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief corner stone.

It is marvelous in our eyes.
“What a help you are

How you have saved
the arm without strength!
What counsel you have given

“Do not be afraid, for am I in God’s place?
As for you, you meant evil against me,
but God meant it for good
in order to do what has happened
on this day, to keep many people alive.”
But He knows the way I take;
When He has tested me,
I shall come forth as gold.”
He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the lovingkindness
of Yahweh.
