16182. O Dearest Lord, Thy Sacred Head

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

2 O dear­est Lord, Thy sac­red hands
With nails were pierced for me;
O 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;
O pour Thy bless­ing on my feet
That they may walk for Thee.

4 O dear­est Lord, Thy sac­red heart
With spear was pierced for me;
O pour Thy Spi­rit in my heart
That I may love but Thee.
