Original text and translations

English text

1.

O perfect God, Thy love

As perfect Man did share

Here upon earth each form of ill

Thy fellow men must bear.

2.

Now from the tree of scorn

We hear Thy voice again;

Thou Who didst take our mortal flesh

Hast felt our mortal pain.

3.

Thy body suffers thirst,

Parched are Thy lips and dry:

How poor the offering man can bring

Thy thirst to satisfy!

4.

O Savior, by Thy thirst

Borne on the cross of shame,

Grant us in all our sufferings leave

To glorify Thy Name.

5.

That through each pain and grief

Our souls may onward move

To gain more likeness to Thy life,

More knowledge of Thy love.

Lyrics: Ada R. Green­a­way, in Hymns An­cient and Mo­dern, 1904.
