Lyrics

O Lamb of God most holy
Who on the cross did suffer
So patient still and lowly
Yourself to scorn did offer.
Our sins by you were taken
Or hope had us forsaken
Have mercy on us, Jesus!

When I survey the wondrous cross,
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride.
