THINK OF THE SON OF GOD

​

Think of the Cross of Christ

each day,

Think how He lay on that fell tree,

Think of the boon His Passion gave,

Think of the grave

that waits for thee.

THINK OF THE SON OF GOD

​

Think of the Son of God, His state

Put off, the fate of thieves to share,

By friends forsaken, betrayed, alone,

His Mother lonely weeping there.

THINK OF THE SON OF GOD

​

Think of the future, speak no lie,

Think, and put by ambition's strife ;

Speak not with oaths,

lest angels sigh ;

Think that to die means

naught but life.

translated by Douglas Hyde (1860-1949)

THINK OF THE SON OF GOD

​

Think of the Son of God, how He

Died on the tree our souls to save,

Think of the nails that

pierced Him through,

Think of Him too in lowly grave.

THINK OF THE SON OF GOD

​

Think of the spear the soldier bore,

Think how it tore His holy side,

Think of the bitter gall for drink,

Think of it, — think for us He died.

THINK OF THE SON OF GOD

​

Think of the awful

Judgment-Mount,

Think of the fount of grace and rest;

Think of repentance made betimes,

Think of thy crimes

and beat thy breast.
