TRULY THIS WAS THE SON OF GOD
I
O hands in benediction spread,O Hands that, loving, broke the Bread,
O Hands that bleed for us instead!
II
O Bundle of these transfixed feet,So joined, through each one nail doth beat,
O knot of Love, O Posy sweet!
III
And this, the sluice within thy side,To a hidden river openeth wide,
With fruiting trees on either side.
