O sa-cred head, now wound-ed, With grief and shame weighed down,

Am Dm C Dm C Dm G C E Am Em E7 Am
Now scorn-ful-ly sur-round-ed With thorns, Thine on-ly crown:

O sa-cred head, what glo-ry, What bliss till now was Thine!

Yet, though de-spised and gor-y, I joy to call Thee mine.
[[Full Lyrics]] [Verse 1] O sacred head, now wounded, With grief and shame weighed down, Now scornfully surrounded With thorns, thine only crown: O sacred head, what glory, What bliss till now was Thine! Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call Thee mine. [Verse 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. [Verse 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.
