Intro: Am, Amsus4, Am, Amsus4, Am  


  F                G    C 
O sacred Head, now wounded, 
     Am        E             Am 
With grief and shame weighed down, 
    F          G       C 
Now scornfully surrounded 
     Am            E    Am 
With thorns, Thine only crown 
    G         F        C 
How pale thou art with anguish, 
     F    Dm        Am 
with sore abuse and scorn. 
    G         C      D G 
How does that visage languish 
      F        G         Am 
which once was bright as morn. 


     F                   G  C 
What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered, 
      Am      E        Am 
T'was all for sinners’ gain; 
      F            G    C 
Mine, mine was the transgression, 
    Am        E      Am 
But Thine the deadly pain. 
    G      F        C 
Lo, here I fall, my Saviour. 
     F    Dm       Am 
‘Tis I deserve Thy place; 
     G     C        D G 
Look on me with Thy favour, 
     F       G      Am 
Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.
