3 Behold a bleeding Christ! O see his side, how did it run With purple Gore? Can ye forbear to grieve, shed tears, and mourn!
4 But did he die, and in our stead, that we might never die? O love this Lord, and sing his Praise; and on him all rely!
5 The fruits of Christ's most blessed Death in bleeding Hearts appear; Their sins, they see, have wounded him, and pierced him like a spear.
