[HOLY SON OF GOD], REV 365
Hexatonic, mode 2 A (I II 3 IV V — 7)
I love the holy Son of God,
Who once this vale of sorrows trod,
And bore my sins, a heavy load,
Up Calv’ry’s gloomy mountain.
High on the cross he shameful hung,
The sport of many an envious tongue,
While pains severe his nature wrung,
