Sweet, thou art pale.""More pale to see,Christ hung upon the cruel treeAnd bore His Father's wrath for me." "Sweet, thou art sad.""Beneath a rodMore heavy, Christ for my sake trodThe winepress of the wrath of God." "Sweet, thou art weary.""Not so Christ:Whose mighty love of me sufficedFor Strength, Salvation, Eucharist." "Sweet, thou art footsore.""If I bleed,His feet have bled: yea, in my needHis Heart once bled for mine indeed."
