A-men. 2 Do we pass that Cross unheeding, Breathing no repentant vow, Though we see thee wounded, bleeding, See thy thorn-encircled brow? Yet thy sinless death hath brought us Life eternal, peace, and rest; Only what thy grace hath taught us Calms the sinner's stormy breast. 3 Jesus, may our hearts be burning With more fervent love for thee; May our eyes be ever turning To thy Cross of agony; Till in glory, parted never From the blessèd Saviour's side, Graven in our hearts forever, Dwell the Cross, the Crucified.
