Ah, my dear Lord, what couldst thou spy

From Oremus Hymnal

Ah, my dear Lord! what couldst thou spy
in this impure, rebellious clay,
that made thee thus resolve to die
for those that kill thee every day?

O what strange wonders could thee move
to slight thy precious blood, and breath!
Sure it was Love, my Lord; for Love
is only stronger far than death.
