Behold, behold the bleeding God
Expiring on the shameful tree;
He spills his precious blood,
And spills it too, O man, for thee!
The mountains nod
To see the God
Pierced with a cruel spear;
All nature shakes; earth's center quakes;
The sleeping saints appear.}}

Behold, behold the bleeding God
Expiring on the shameful tree;
He spills his precious blood,
And spills it too, O man, for thee!
The mountains nod
To see the God
Pierced with a cruel spear;
All nature shakes; earth's center quakes;
The sleeping saints appear.
