48. Hymn to the Sacred Wounds of Jesus

God of mercy let us run
⁠Where yon fount of sorrow flows,
Pondering sweetly one by one,
⁠Jesu's wounds and Mary's woes.

Ah! those tears our Lady shed,
⁠Enough to drown a world of sin;
Tears that Jesu's sorrows fed,
⁠Peace and pardon well may win.

His five wounds a very home
⁠For our prayers and praises prove;
And our Lady's woes become
⁠Endless joys in Heaven above.

Jesu who for us didst die,
⁠All on Thee our love we pour;
And in the Holy Trinity
⁠Worship Thee for evermore.
