  1. O Sacred Head Now Wounded By Paul Gerhardt based on Medieval Latin Poem Translated by James W. Alexander Tune by Hans L. Hassler Harmony by Johann Sebastian Bach

  2. O Sacred Head Now Wounded 1. O sacred Head, now wounded, With grief and shame weighed down, Now scornfully surrounded With thorns, Thine only crown; How pale Thou art with anguish, With sore abuse and scorn! How does that visage languish Which once was bright as morn!

  3. O Sacred Head Now Wounded 2. What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered Was all for sinners' gain: Mine, mine was the transgression, But Thine the deadly pain; Lo, here I fall, my Savior! 'Tis I deserve Thy place; Look on me with Thy favor, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.

  4. O Sacred Head Now Wounded 3. What language shall I borrow To thank Thee, dearest Friend, For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? O make me Thine forever, And should I fainting be, Lord, let me never, never Outlive my love for Thee.
