Hymn
Now let us all with one accord
To Christ our Captain anthems raise,
Whose conquering cross our life restored,—
Let heaven resound with songs of praise.
O may thy dreadful agony
With true contrition rend our breast,
And make us ever seek for thee,
O Jesus, our Redeemer blest.
Those blissful scars which Jesus bore,
The spitting, scourging, buffeting,
To us have won for evermore
The eternal gifts of Christ our King.
Let not thy Blood be shed in vain
But to our hearts its power apply,
And wash them clean from every stain,
Creator of the starry sky.
The gifts which from thy Passion flow
Grant us, O Savior, of thy grace,
And in thy faithfulness bestow
The heavenly vision of thy face.
