Droop, sacred head, upon that breast divine,
The strife is o’er, the victory is Thine.
Hush, sounds of earth; sink, sink thou mournful sun;
On Calvary’s cross lo! mercy’s work is done.
Gaze, mortal, gaze; the Saviour hangs for thee,
Silent in death upon the accursed tree.
Love, holiest love, shall earth and heaven atone,
In fadeless day, from Christ’s eternal throne!
