Grant that I in love and faith May the image cherish Of Your suff'ring, pain, and death That I may not perish. 2 Make me see Your great distress, Anguish, and affliction, Bonds and stripes and wretchedness And Your crucifixion: Make me see how scourge and rod, Spear and nails did wound You, How for them You died, O God, Who with thorns had crowned You. 3 Yet, O Lord, not thus alone Make me see Your passion, But its cause to me make known And its termination. Ah! I also and my sin Wrought Your deep affliction; This indeed the cause has been Of Your crucifixion. 4 Grant that I Your passion view With repentant grieving, Let me not bring shame to You By unholy living. How could I refuse to shun Ev'ry sinful pleasure Since for me God's only Son Suffered without measure? 5 If my sins give me alarm And my conscience grieve me, Let Your cross my fear disarm; Peace of conscience give me. Help me see forgiveness won By Your holy passion. If for me He slays His Son, God must have compassion! 6 Graciously my faith renew; Help me bear my crosses, Learning humbleness from You, Peace mid pain and losses. May I give You love for love! Hear me, O my Savior, That I may in heav'n above Sing Your praise forever. Used With Tune: JESU KREUZ, LEIDEN UND PEIN

What life, by faith, our souls receive! What pleasures do his sorrows give! 4 Still may I view the Saviour's cross, And other objects count but loss: Here still be fix'd my feasted eyes, Enraptur'd with his sacrifice. 5 Jesus the Saviour! balmy name! Thy worth my tongue would now proclaim; By thy atonement set me free, My life, my hope, is all from thee. Topics: The Shadow of the Law, reflecting the Body, which is Christ Text Sources: Gen.
