ENGLISH -
1 O Sacred Head, surrounded
By crown of piercing thorn!
O bleeding Head, so wounded,
Reviled and put to scorn!
The pow'r of death comes o'er you,
The glow of life decays,
Yet angel hosts adore you
And tremble as they gaze.

2 I see your strength and vigor
All fading in the strife,
And death with cruel rigor,
Bereaving you of life;
O agony and dying!
O love to sinners free!
Jesus, all grace supplying,
O turn your face on me.

3 In this, your bitter passion,
Good Shepherd, think of me
With your most sweet compassion,
Unworthy though I be:
Beneath your cross abiding
For ever would I rest,
In your dear love confiding,
And with your presence blest.

SPANISH:
¡Oh rostro ensangrentado
Imagen del dolor,
Que sufres resignado
La burla y el furor!
Soportas la tortura,
La saña, la maldad;
En tan cruel amargura,
¡Que grandes es tu bondad!

2 Cubrió tu noble frente
La palidez mortal,
Cual velo transparente
De tu sufrir, señal.
Cerróse aquella boca,
La lengua enmudeció,
La fría muerte toca
Al que la vida dio.

3 Señor, tu has soportado
Lo que yo merecí;
La culpa que has cargado,
Cargarla yo debí.
Mas mírame, confío
En tu cruz y pasión.
Otórgame, Dios mío,
La gracia del perdón.
