O Dearest Lord
O dearest Lord, thy sacred head with thorns was pierced for me;
O pour thy blessing on my head that I may think for thee.
O dearest Lord, thy sacred hands with nails were pierced for me.
O shed thy blessing on my hands, that they may work for thee.
O dearest Lord, thy sacred feet with nails were pierced for me;
O pour thy blessing on my feet that they may follow thee.
O dearest Lord, thy sacred heart with spear was pierced for me;
O pour thy Spirit in my heart that I may live for thee.
