Through thy sore anguish on the tree,

I ever think upon thy blood!

2 O Love! who unto death hast grieved

For this cold heart, unworthy thine,

Whom the cold grave and death received,

I thank thee for that grief divine.

3 I give thee thanks that thou didst die

To win eternal life for me,

To bring salvation from on high:

Oh, draw me up through love to thee!
