O Sacred head surrounded,\nBy crown of piercing thorn,\nO bleeding head so wounded\nReviled and put to scorn.\nOur sins have marred the beauty\nOf thy most Holy face;\nYet angel host adore thee\nAnd tremble as they gaze.\n2. In this thy bitter passion,\nGood shepherd, think of me,\nWith thy most kind compassion\nUnworthy though I be.\nBeneath thy cross abiding,\nFor ever would I rest,\nIn your dear love confiding,\nAnd in your presence blest.\n3. O Jesus I adore you,\nMy thorn – crowned Lord and King,\nI bow my heart before you,\nYour gracious name I sing.\nYour name that brought salvation,\nYour name in life my stay\nMy hope and consolation,\nWhen life shall fade away.\n1 79. REMEMBER MAN (Ash Wednesday)\nRefrain:\nRemember man that you are dust,\nAnd into dust you will return.\nLet us change our garments for ashes and sackcloth.\nLet us fast and weep before the Lord for gracious\nAnd merciful is our God to forgive our sins.\n2. Between the porch and the alter, let the priests\nThe ministers of the Lord lament and say:\n“Spare, O Lord, spare your sons, spare your sons.\nAnd close not the mouths of your faithful who sing to you.”\n3. Let us change for better from our sins of ignorance,\nLest we die in sins, in our sins, a sudden death.\n4. Hear us Lord, have mercy, have mercy,\nFor we have sinned against you, against you.\n5. Help us God our Saviour, help us Lord, help us Lord,\nFor the glory of your name O Lord, help us Lord.\n6. Glory be to the Father and to the Son,\nTo the Holy Spirit Holy Ghost, hear us Lord.
