1 Jesus! Source of life eternal!
Victor o'er the hosts infernal,
By defeat, and shame, and death,
Thou through deepest tribulation
Deigned to pass for our salvation:
2 Thou, O Son of God! wert bearing
Cruel mockings, hatred, scorn;
Thou, the King of glory, wearing,
For our sake, the crown of thorn:
From the chains of sin for ever;
3 All the shame men heaped upon Thee,
Not the pains of death too bitter,
4 Heart-felt praise and adoration,
For Thy death, whereby we live;
All the grief Thou wert enduring,
