O Sacred Head Surrounded

I would like to share a hymn we sang at church today, Palm Sunday.  To me, there is nothing like singing hymns around the Easter and Christmas season.  I love the reverence that they bring.  I was grateful this was one of the songs chosen to sing, for what a beautiful prayer it is. 

O sacred Head surrounded by crown of piercing thorn!

O bleeding head, so wounded, reviled and put to scorn!

The pow'r of death comes o'er You, the glow of life decays

Yet angel hosts adore you, and tremble as they gaze.

I see your strength and vigor all fading in the strife,

And death with cruel rigor, bereaving you of life;

O agony and dying!  O love to sinners free!

Jesus, all grace supplying, O turn your face on me.

In this, your bitter passion, Good Shepherd, think of me

With your most sweet compassion, unworthy though I be:

Beneath your cross abiding forever would I rest,

In your dear love confiding, and with your presence blest.

A blessed Holy Week to you all.

Love ya, mean it

Be here now.
