118. O Dearest Lord

1 O dearest Lord, Thy sacred head
With thorns was pierced for me;
Oh, pour Thy blessing on my head,
That I may think on Thee.

2 O dearest Lord, Thy sacred hands
With nails were pierced for me;
Oh, shed Thy blessing on my hands,
That they may work for Thee.

3 O dearest Lord, Thy sacred feet
With nails were pierced for me;
Oh, pour Thy blessing on my feet,
That they may follow thee.
