HYMN ON THE PASSION OF OUR LORD.

By Bonaventura

[From the Latin of Bonaventura.]
LET Heaven highest praises bring, And earth her songs of gladness sing, To magnify our Saviour king, Who bought us by his blood.
May all the suffering thou hast borne, The bleeding side, the cruel thorn, Our hearts to thee in sorrow turn, And lead us home to God.
By scourgings, spittings, stripes, and scars, Jesus, the maker of the stars, The gates of Heaven to us unbars, And bids us enter in.
Fill us, O Saviour, with thy love; Grant us eternal joys above; Oh, faithful to thy promise prove, And cleanse us from our sin.
