O sacred Head now wounded
With grief and shame weighed down
Now scornfully surrounded 
With thorns Thine only crown
How pale Thou art with anguish
With sore abuse and scorn
How does that visage languish
Which once was bright as morn

What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners' gain
Mine, mine was the transgression
But Thine the deadly pain
Lo, here I fall, my Savior
'tis I deserve Thy place
Look on me with Thy favor
Vouchsafe me to Thy grace

Matondo quange...

What language shall I borrow
To thank Thee, dearest friend
For this Thy dying sorrow
Thy pity without end?
O make me Thine forever
And should I fainting be
Lord let me never, never 
Outlive my love to Thee 

Matondo quange...
