He that beheld the victim bleed,

Beheld, and aided in the deed—

When earthly fears had lost their power

Reveal’d the tale in such an hour,

Unfolding, with his latest breath,

All that gave keener pangs to death.”

“By Him, th’ All-seeing and Unseen,

Who is for ever, and hath been,

And by th’ Atoner’s cross adored,

And by th’ avenger’s holy sword,
