Full Lyrics
Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour,
Lamb of God led to the slaughter;
Condemned, dying, crucified for our sin.
Sacrifice, oblation, hail the spotless victim.
See His mother sadly weeping,
As he hangs in desolation;
“My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken?
Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?”
In the garden, deep lamenting,
Sent to earth for man’s salvation;
True man, true God, heav’nly king eternal.
Rabbi, Master, teach us, Lord, to love Thee.
Crowned with thorns and clothed in purple,
Blood has stained His face most royal;
Scourged and beaten, have you no compassion?
Bleeding, crying, condemned to death by Pilate.
Wretched sinners, pray for mercy,
Who to blame for this cruel murder?
Grave sins, our sins sent Him to His Passion.
Jesus, Saviour, killed upon the altar.
