Poem Artwork

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!

 

2. What thou, my Lord, has 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.

 

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.

 

 

Attributed to Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091-1153

 

by Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676 (translated)

Jesus' love and sacrifice on both our minds - this has a classical feel to it, one feels as if they are at the crucifiction site, witnessing His ultimate expression of what true love is - stunning!

(((HUGS))), love and God bless, Happy Easter,

Karla.

Many years ago I painted His head when on the cross, looking up, questioning his Father with a face covered with a yellowish pallor.
I never did that again, so much pain it produced inside me.
This words take me back to then.

Thank you for finding this and bringing this to share with us, Eileen. A most beautiful hymn that has long been an Easter tradition in the Lutheran Church. So apropos for Good Friday!

Blessed and Happy Easter to you...

Oh Haupt voll Blut und Wunden, voll Spot und voller Hohn, oh, Haupt zum Spot gebunden mit einer Dornenkron!... A Easter poem, that Johann Sebastian Bach made into a famous piece of music, the words are haunting and pleading to all that look to, and feel what truly happened then, and is still happening today in totall abandon, as if like Georg wrote, (nothing extordinary happened), lots of praying, as I said before, but not much action, who said God helps those that..... and others! This most beautiful music, we sang in our Lutheran Cathredral every Easter, with accomodation of a huge organ, if the words didn't get you the music did, I feel it certainly always had an impact, at least for a day or so, at least till the frolic of the easter egg hunt began etc....and then the ordinary, the banal took easy hold again, and life carried on as usual, as it does today, without being any further ahead to where we were two thousand years ago, yes we have more beautiful cathedrals or churches to pray in, but look around outside In any case I want to thank you for your write, and thank you for memories that are still meaningful to me today, and with that I wish you a Happy Easter!
Hugs! Jasmin Horst
