CHRIST CROWNED WITH THORNS.
"BEHOLD THE MAN."
"A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief."
Too little do we think of thee,
Our too indulgent Lord:
We ask not what thy will may be,
We dwell not on thy word.
Thou, who in human shape wast born,
And shared in human woe;
Thou, who didst wear the crown of thorn,
Which all must wear below;
Thou, who the sinner's fate didst share,
Yet from the grave arise—
Alas! unworthy that we are
Of such a sacrifice.
