"O Prisoner of Love"
(all rights reserved)
O prisoner of love most sweet
in darkness for me waiting
in thirst and silence all too deep
my soul anticipating
O let my thoughts fly to Thee there
where anxiously You wait for me
and think upon the love and care
that on the cross You show to me
O prisoner of love most sweet
recall the image to my mind
of all Thy bitter sufferings which
you bore for all these sins of mine
O let no passing things in life
from my mind Thy love erase
nor how You gave Your life for mine
and for my soul died in disgrace
