Sweet thou art paleA
More pale to seeB
Christ hung upon the cruel treeB
And bore His Father's wrath for meB

Sweet thou art sadC
Beneath a rodD
More heavy Christ for my sake trodD
The winepress of the wrath of GodD
-
Sweet thou art wearyB
Not so ChristE
Whose mighty love of me suffic'dE
For Strength Salvation EucharistF
-
Sweet thou art footsoreB
If I bleedG
His feet have bled yea in my needG
His Heart once bled for mine indeedG
