English text

Ah, my dear Lord ! what couldst thou spy
    In this impure, rebellious clay,
That made Thee thus resolve to die
    For those that kill Thee every day ?

O what strange wonders could Thee move
    To slight Thy precious blood, and breath ?
Sure it was love, my Lord ! for love
    Is only stronger far than death !
