Matthew: When they had bound Him, they led Him, &c

Thee, Jesus, Thee our hearts adore!
Bound as a criminal profane,
Given up into the judge's power,
Thou brav'st the punishment of man;
Haled to the Lord's tremendous bar,
The Governor of earth and sky.
Worthy to be condemn'd we are.
Worthy the second death to die.

But loosed by Thy captivity
Thy meritorious bonds we bless,
Rejoice, while led away with Thee
To life and endless happiness:
Deliver'd from the Judge Divine
With all Thy family above.
With all Thy saints on earth we join
The triumph of redeeming love.
