I: When on the cross my Lord I see, / Bleeding to death for wretched me, / Satan and sin no more can move, / For I am all transform'd to love.
II: His thorns and nails pierce through my heart, / In every groan I bear a part; / I view his wounds with streaming eyes:
But see! he bows his head and dies!
III: Come, sinners, view the Lamb of God, / Wounded and dead and bathed in blood!
Behold his side, and venture near, / The well of endless life is here.
IV: Here I forget my cares and pains, / I drink -- yet still my thirst remains; / Only the fountain-head above / Can satisfy the thirst of love.
V: Oh that I thus could always feel!
Lord, more and more thy love reveal!
Then my glad tongue shall loud proclaim / The grace and glory of thy name.
VI: Thy name dispels my guilt and fear, / Revives my heart, and charms my ear, / Affords a balm for every wound, / And Satan trembles at the sound.
