Hold! Restrain your cruel hand;
Spare me a life of ignominy,
An eternity of shame
Carrying that holy frame.
Forgive, my Lord, forgive,
My helpless pain I submit,
With your loving touch
This wood enrich.
Lambs of your fold kneel
In worship, in reverence,
Blessed with your blood, I live
In faithful hearts a rememberance.
