1 O Lamb of God most holy,
Upon the cursed tree slain;
E'er patient, meek and lowly,
Though heaped with hate and disdain,
All sins Thou borest for us,
Else had despair reigned o'er us,
Have mercy on us, O Jesus!
Upon the cursed tree slain;
E'er patient, meek and lowly,
Though heaped with hate and disdain,
All sins Thou borest for us,
Else had despair reigned o'er us,
Have mercy on us, O Jesus!
