Poems of Hope and Peace - O' sacred head surrounded

O'sacred head surrounded

by crown of piercing thorns!

O'bleeding head so wounded

reviled and put to scorn!!

Deaths pallid hue come o'er you

the glow of life decays

yet angel hosts adore you

and tremble as they gaze

O'mother of my saviour

you stand beside your Son

with love beyond all telling

you share His grief as one

How shall i know your sorrow

your tears beyond compare?

deep in my heart stand watching

and call my memory there

In this your bitter passion

Good Shepperd think of me

with your most sweet compassion

unworthy though i be

Beneath your cross abiding

forever would i rest

In your dear love confiding

and with your presence blest

I see your strength and vigor

all fading in the strife

and death with cruel rigor

bereaving you of life

O'agony and dyeing

O'love to sinners free!

Jesus, all grace supplying

O' turn your face to me.

i got this sacred hyme out of a book called "following Jesus Christ"
the words humbled me and bought me close to the cross and His death.
i hope it humbles you like it humbled me
