If we have never sought, we seek You now;
Your eyes burn through the dark, our only stars;
We must have sight of thorn-pricks on your brow,
We must have You, O Jesus of the Scars.
The heavens frighten us; they are too calm;
In all the universe we have no place.
Our wounds are hurting us; where is the balm?
Lord Jesus, by Your Scars, we claim Your grace.
If, when the doors are shut, You draw near,
Only reveal those hands, that side of Yours;
We know to-day what wounds are, have no fear,
Show us Your Scars, we know the countersign.
The other gods were strong; but You were weak;
They rode, but You did stumble to a throne;
But to our wounds only God's wounds can speak,
And not a god has wounds, but You alone.
