Original text and translations

English text

1.
O sacred head, now wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down,
now scornfully surrounded
with thorns, your only crown;
O sacred head, what glory
and blessing you have known!
Yet, though despised and gory,
I claim you as my own.

2.
My Lord, what you did suffer,
was all for sinners’ gain;
mine, mine was the transgression,
but yours the deadly pain.
So here I kneel, my Savior,
for I deserve your place;
look on me with your favor
and safe me by your grace.

3.
What language shall I borrow
to thank you, dearest Friend,
for this your dying sorrow,
your mercy without end?
Lord, make me yours forever,
a loyal servant true,
and let me never, never
outlive my love for you.

4.
My Savior, be you near me
when death is at my door;
Then let your presence cheer me,
forsake me nevermore!
When soul and body languish,
oh, leave me not alone,
but take away mine anguish
by virtue of yours own!

-{{Verse|1.}} O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden,
+O sacred head, now wounded,
-Voll Schmerz und voller Hohn,
+with grief and shame weighed down,
-O Haupt, zum Spott gebunden
+now scornfully surrounded
-Mit einer Dornenkron’,
+with thorns, your only crown;
-O Haupt, sonst schön gezieret
+O sacred head, what glory
-Mit höchster Ehr’ und Zier,
+and blessing you have known!
-Jetzt aber hoch schimpfieret:
+Yet, though despised and gory,
-Gegrüßet sei’st du mir!
+I claim you as my own.
-{{Verse|2.}} Du edles Angesichte,
-Davor sonst schrickt und scheut
-Das große Weltgewichte,
-Wie bist du so bespeit!
-Wie bist du so erbleichet!
-Wer hat dein Augenlicht,
-Dem sonst kein Licht nicht gleichet,
-So schändlich zugericht’t?
-{{Verse|3.}} Die Farbe deiner Wangen,
-Der roten Lippen Pracht
-Ist hin und ganz vergangen;
-Des blassen Todes Macht
-Hat alles hingenommen,
-Hat alles hingerafft,
-Und daher bist du kommen
-Von deines Leibes Kraft.
-{{Verse|4.}} Nun, was du, Herr, erduldet,
-Ist alles meine Last;
-Ich hab’ es selbst verschuldet,
-Was du getragen hast.
-Schau her, hier steh’ ich Armer,
-Der Zorn verdienet hat;
-Gib mir, o mein Erbarmer,
-Den Anblick deiner Gnad’!
-{{Verse|5.}} Erkenne mich, mein Hüter,
-Mein Hirte, nimm mich an!
-Von dir, Quell aller Güter,
-Ist mir viel Gut’s getan.
-Dein Mund hat mich gelabet
-Mit Milch und süßer Kost;
-Dein Geist hat mich begabet
-Mit mancher Himmelslust.
-{{Verse|6.}} Ich will hier bei dir stehen,
-Verachte mich doch nicht!
-Von dir will ich nicht gehen,
-Wenn dir dein Herze bricht;
-Wenn dein Haupt wird erblassen
-Im letzten Todesstoß,
-Alsdann will ich dich fassen
-In meinen Arm und Schoß.
-{{Verse|7.}} Es dient zu meinen Freuden
-Und kommt mir herzlich wohl,
-Wenn ich in deinem Leiden,
-Mein Heil, mich finden soll.
-Ach, möcht’ ich, o mein Leben,
-An deinem Kreuze hier
-Mein Leben von mir geben,
-Wie wohl geschähe mir!
-{{Verse|8.}} Ich danke dir von Herzen,
-O Jesu, liebster Freund,
-Für deines Todes Schmerzen,
-Da du’s so gut gemeint.
-Ach gib, dass ich mich halte
-Zu dir und deiner Treu’
-Und, wenn ich nun erkalte,
-In dir mein Ende sei!
-{{Verse|9.}} Wenn ich einmal soll scheiden,
-So scheide nicht von mir;
-Wenn ich den Tod soll leiden,
-So tritt du dann herfür;
-Wenn mir am allerbängsten
-Wird um das Herze sein,
-So reiß mich aus den Ängsten
-Kraft deiner Angst und Pein!
-{{Verse|10.}} Erscheine mir zum Schilde,
-Zum Trost in meinem Tod,
-Und lass mich sehn dein Bilde
-In deiner Kreuzesnot!
-Da will ich nach dir blicken,
-Da will ich glaubensvoll
-Dich fest an mein Herz drücken.
-Wer so stirbt, der stirbt wohl.

-<poem>
-{{Verse|1.}} O Sacred Head surrounded
-By crown of piercing thorn!
-O bleeding Head, so wounded,
-Reviled and put to scorn!
-Death's pallid hue comes o'er Thee,
-The glow of life decays,
-Yet angel-hosts adore Thee,
-And tremble as they gaze.
-{{Verse|2.}} I see Thy strength and vigor,
+.
-All fading in the strife,
+My Lord, what you did suffer,
-And death with cruel rigor,
+was all for sinners’ gain;
-Bereaving Thee of life;
+mine, mine was the transgression,
-O agony and dying!
+but yours the deadly pain.
-O love to sinners free!
+So here I kneel, my Savior,
-Jesu, all grace supplying,
+for I deserve your place;
-Oh, turn Thy face on me.
+look on me with your favor
+and safe me by your grace.
-{{Verse|3.}} In this, Thy bitter Passion,
+.
-Good Shepherd, think of me
+What language shall I borrow
-With Thy most sweet compassion,
+to thank you, dearest Friend,
-Unworthy though I be:
+for this your dying sorrow,
-Beneath Thy cross abiding
+your mercy without end?
-Forever would I rest,
+Lord, make me yours forever,
-In Thy dear love confiding,
+a loyal servant true,
-And with Thy presence blest.
+and let me never, never
+outlive my love for you.
-{{Verse|4.}} Be near when I am dying;
+.
-Oh, show Thy cross to me:
+My Savior, be you near me
-And to my succor flying,
+when death is at my door;
-Come, Lord, and set me free.
+Then let your presence cheer me,
-These eyes, new faith receiving,
+forsake me nevermore!
-From Jesus shall not move;
+When soul and body languish,
-For he, who dies believing,
+oh, leave me not alone,
-Dies safely through Thy love.
+but take away mine anguish
-<poem>
+by virtue of yours own!}}
