Upon the Cross Extended

Upon the cross extended See,
world, your Lord suspended.
Your Saviour yields his breath.
The Prince of Life from heaven
Himself has freely given
To shame and blows and bitter death.

Come, see these things and ponder,
Your soul will fill with wonder
As blood streams from each pore.
Thro'grief beyond all knowing
From His great came flowing
Sighs welling from its deepest core.

I caused your grief and sighing
By evils multiplying
As countless as the sands.
I caused the woes unnumbered
With which your soul is cumbered,
Your sorrows raised by wicked hands.

Your cords of love, my Saviour,
Bind me to you forever,
I am no longer mine.
To You I gladly tender
All that my life can render
And all I have to You resign.
