11145. Lord, On Me, Even Me, Confer

Lord, on me, even me, confer
Contrite spirit of faith and prayer;
Give me eyes, my Lord, my God,
Him whom I have pierced to see,
Bearing all my sinful load,
Pouring out His blood for me!

They who see must surely feel
O what piteous spectacle!
Stone to flesh the sight doth turn!
Yes, I share Thy dying smart,
Now I look on Thee and mourn,
Now I give Thee all my heart.
