| Nailed to the shameful tree | B |
| How vast the love that him inclined | A |
| To bleed and die for thee | B |

| Hark how he groans while nature shakes | C |
| And earth's strong pillars bend | D |
| The temple's veil in sunder breaks | C |
| The solid marbles rend | D |

| 'Tis done the precious ransom's paid | D |
| 'Receive my soul ' he cries | E |

| But soon he'll break death's envious chain | F |
| And in full glory shine | G |
| O Lamb of God was ever pain | F |
| Was ever love like thine | G |
