Quotes
O sacred head, now wounded,With grief and shame bowed down; Now scornfully surrounded With thorns, thy only crown.
Passion Corale [1656], based on twelfth century Latin hymn, st. 1
Oh! make me Thine forever;And should I fainting be,Lord! let me never, never,Outlive my love to Thee!
Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 400.
