Oh Sacred Head Now Wounded

The lyrics to this old hymn are particularly powerful and one of my very favorites!  I pray that the old language will only edify and not confuse you...  This version by Selah is especially beautiful.  Please be sure to listen to it in the Youtube video which follows this post!

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!

2. What thou, my Lord, has suffered
was all for sinners' gain;
mine, mine was the transgression,
but thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior!
'Tis I deserve thy place;
look on me with thy favor,
vouchsafe me to thy grace.

3. What language shall I borrow
to thank thee, dearest friend,
for this thy dying sorrow,
thy pity without end?
O make me thine forever;
and should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
outlive my love to thee.

Dear Lord,  Let me never, never outlive my love to Thee.

Have a blessed weekend!
