Morning and Evening Prayers for All Days of the Week / Together With Confessional, Communion, and Other Prayers and Hymns for Mornings and Evenings, and Other Occasions

by Johann Habermann

See Him there, God’s only Son

On the tree for thee suspended,

Crowned with thorns, by grief undone,

Crimson stains with crimson blended,

Pierced for thee, transfixed, forsaken:

Deathless love by death o’ertaken.

Thou, yea thou hadst known the rod,

Endless pain thy sole possession;

Thou hadst been cast off by God

For thy multiplied transgression;
