�It is finished!� Man of Sorrows!
From Thy cross our frailty borrows
Strength to bear and conquer thus.While extended there, we view
Thee:
Mighty Suff�rer, draw us to Thee,
Sufferer victorious!
Not in vain for us uplifted:
Man of Sorrows, wonder gifted
May that sacred emblem be.
Lifted high amid the ages:
Guide of heroes, saints, and sages,
May it guide us still to Thee.
Still to Thee, whose love unbounded
Sorrow�s depth�s for us has sounded,
Perfected by conflicts sore.
Honored be Thy cross forever:
Star, that points our high endeavor,
Whither Thou hast gone before! |
