O sacred Head, now wounded,

With grief and shame weighed down,

Now scornfully surrounded

With thorns, Thine only crown

How pale thou art with anguish,

with sore abuse and scorn.

How does that visage languish

which once was bright as morn.

What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered,

But Thine the deadly pain.

Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.
