Rhyme Scheme: AABBB CCDD EE FF

When I behold Thee almost slainA
With one and all parts full of painA
When I Thy gentle heart do seeB
Pierced through and dropping blood for meB
I'll call and cry out thanks to TheeB
-
Vers But yet it wounds my soul to thinkC
That for my sin Thou Thou must drinkC
Even Thou alone the bitter cupD
Of fury and of vengeance upD
-
Chor Lord I'll not see Thee to drink allE
The vinegar the myrrh the gallE
-
Vers Chor But I will sip a little wineF
Which done Lord say The rest is MineF
