It is finished! Man of sorrows!
From Thy cross our frailty borrows
Strength to bear and conquer thus.
While extended there
we view Thee:
Mighty Sufferer
draw us to Thee
Sufferer victorious!
Not in vain for us uplifted:
Man of Sorrows
wonder gifted
May that sacred emblem be.
Lifted high amid the ages:
Guide of heroes
saints
and sages
May it guide us still to Thee.
Still to Thee
whose love unbounded
Sorrow’s depth’s for us has sounded
Perfected by conflicts sore.
Honored be Thy cross forever:
Star
that points our high endeavor
Whither Thou hast gone before!
