But now, see where He lies On the cold ground, exposed to thick, dank air, And all the fury of the maddening skies! See how each nerve and vein Trembles and throbs with torture! how His eyes Start from their seat with anguish and despair! What drops of sanguine sweat roll down amain From His fair limbs! “O Father, O remove, If possible, this cup, yet not My will, But Thine be done!” O agonizing love!
