<p>Christ, the Life of all the living,<br>
|
|
Christ the Death of death, our foe,<br>
|
|
Who Thyself for us once giving<br>
|
|
To the darkest depths of woe,<br>
|
|
Patiently didst yield Thy breath<br>
|
|
But to save my soul from death;<br>
|
|
Praise and glory ever be,<br>
|
|
Blessèd Jesus, unto Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Thou, O Christ, hast taken on Thee<br>
|
|
Bitter strokes, a cruel rod;<br>
|
|
Pain and scorn were heaped upon Thee,<br>
|
|
O Thou sinless Son of God,<br>
|
|
Only thus for me to win<br>
|
|
Rescue from the bonds of sin;<br>
|
|
Praise and glory ever be,<br>
|
|
Blessèd Jesus, unto Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Thou didst bear the smiting only<br>
|
|
That it might not fall on me;<br>
|
|
Stoodest falsely charged and lonely<br>
|
|
That I might be safe and free;<br>
|
|
Comfortless that I might know<br>
|
|
Comfort from Thy boundless woe.<br>
|
|
Praise and glory ever be,<br>
|
|
Blessèd Jesus, unto Thee.</p>
|
|
<p>Then for all that wrought our pardon,<br>
|
|
For Thy sorrows deep and sore,<br>
|
|
For Thine anguish in the garden,<br>
|
|
I will thank Thee evermore;<br>
|
|
Thank Thee with my latest breath<br>
|
|
For Thy sad and cruel death,<br>
|
|
For that last and bitter cry<br>
|
|
Praise Thee evermore on high.</p>
