Jonah Cross - O Sacred Head (Thou Wounded) Lyrics

Well I came unto a valley
And I swept my eyes around
All my thoughts seemed to surround me
And my mind no rest there found

Moonlit shadows drifting slowly
Hung like demons dancing 'round
A heart so heavy and so lonely
Was with chains and fetters bound

Then I saw on the horizon
'Neath a tree a thorny crown
Stretched upon its crossing branches
Was a King of great renown

Then a soft light shone upon me
When He cried out "It is done"
Above His head a sign read "Victory"
And "Glory to God's only Son"

O Sacred Head, Thou wounded!
O Sacred Head, bowed low

Bloody cross and broken body
All my sins in Thee hath wrought
Past transgressions thou hast taught me
All were paid for on the cross

No more sickness, no more sorrow
No more memory's lonely strain
No more sadness must I borrow
No more madness in my brain

O Sacred Head, Thou wounded!
O Sacred Head, bowed low

Glory, glory to my Saviour
Holy, holy to Thy name
I beseech Thee for Thy favour
When to judge Thou com'st again

O Sacred Head, Thou wounded!
O Sacred Head...
