O Jesu, Crucified for Man

O Je­su

cru­ci­fied for man

O Lamb

all glo­ri­ous on Thy throne

Teach Thou our won­der­ing souls to scan

The mys­te­ry of Thy love un­known.

We pray Thee

grant us strength to take

Our dai­ly cross

what­e’er it be

And glad­ly for Thine own dear sake

In paths of pain to fol­low Thee.

As on our dai­ly way we go

Through light or shade

in calm or strife

O may we bear Thy marks be­low

In con­quered sin and chast­ened life.

And week by week this day we ask

That ho­ly me­mo­ries of Thy cross

May sanc­ti­fy each com­mon task

And turn to gain each earth­ly loss.

Grant us

dear Lord

our cross to bear

Till at Thy feet we lay it down

Win through Thy blood our par­don there

And through the cross at­tain the crown.
