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.

translated by Douglas Hyde (1860-1949)

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.

translated by Douglas Hyde (1860-1949)

THINK OF THE SON OF GOD

​

Think upon Christ

Who gave His blood,

Poured in a flood our souls to win,

Think of the mingled tide

which rushed

Forth at the thrust to

cleanse our sin.

THINK OF THE SON OF GOD

​

Think of repentance timely made,

Think like a shade our time flits, too.

Think upon death with poisoned dart

Piercing the heart and body through.

translated by Douglas Hyde (1860-1949)
