|
<p>O happy day, when first was poured<br>
|
|
The blood our our redeeming Lord!<br>
|
|
O happy day, when first began<br>
|
|
His sufferings for sinful man!</p>
|
|
<p>Just entered on this world of woe,<br>
|
|
His blood already learned to flow;<br>
|
|
His future death was thus expressed,<br>
|
|
And thus His early love confessed.</p>
|
|
<p>From heaven descending to fulfill<br>
|
|
The mandates of His Father’s will,<br>
|
|
E’en now behold the victim lie,<br>
|
|
The Lamb of God, prepared to die!</p>
|
|
<p>Lord, circumcise our hearts, we pray,<br>
|
|
Our fleshly natures purge away;<br>
|
|
Thy Name, Thy likeness may they bear:<br>
|
|
Yea, stamp Thy holy image there!</p>
|
|
<p>O Lord, the virgin born, to Thee<br>
|
|
Eternal praise and glory be,<br>
|
|
Whom with the Father we adore,<br>
|
|
And Holy Ghost forevermore.</p>
