O Christ, what burdens bowed Thy head

• 
• • O Christ, what burdens bowed Thy head! 
  • Our load was laid on Thee; 
  • Thou stoodest in the sinner‟s stead, 
  • didst bear all ill for me. 
  • A victim led, Thy blood was shed; 
  • now there‟s no load for me. 
  • 
    
  • Death and the curse were in our cup: 
  • O Christ, „twas full for Thee! 
  • But Thou hast drained the last dark drop, 
  • „This empty now for me: 
  • that bitter cup, love drank it up: 
  • now blessing‟s draught for me. 
  • 
    
  • The tempest‟s awful voice was heard, 
  • O Christ, it broke on Thee! 
  • Thy open bosom was my ward, 
  • it braved the storm for me. 
  • Thy form was scarred, Thy visage 
  • marred, 
  • now cloudless peace for me. 
  • 
    
  • For me, Lord Jesus, Thou hast died, 
  • and I have died in Thee: 
  • Thou‟rt risen, my bands are all untied; 
  • and now Thou livest in me: 
  • when purified, made white and tried, 
  • Thy glory then for me!
