[While at the bar He stands]
Art Thou the King of . . . Jews?
—xv. 2.
While at the bar He stands
A prisoner in their hands,
Christ whom earth and heaven adore,
Christ whom saints and angels sing,
First asserts His royal power,
Plainly owns Himself a king.
A prisoner in their hands,
Christ whom earth and heaven adore,
Christ whom saints and angels sing,
First asserts His royal power,
Plainly owns Himself a king.
He thus the way makes known
Which leads Him to a throne,
Thus His dignity assumes
Patient of contempt and pain,
Prince of life, to die He comes,
By His cross begins to reign.
