See! through his holy hands and feetThe cruel nails they drive:Our ransom thus is made complete,Our souls are saved alive.

2

And see! the spear has pierced his side,And shed that sacred flood—That holy, reconciling tide—The water and the blood.

3

O holy cross! from thee we learnThe only way to heaven;And O, to thee may sinners turn,And look, and be forgiven!

About this hymn

As printed Words only. As printed: hymn number «324» (large) at the top of the right column of p. 107, below the music of hymn 322, with the reference line «546, 227, 117.» in bold italic figures on the same line (= sing to the tune of hymn 546, 227 or 117). The first word «SEE» is set in capitals and small capitals. «V. Fortunatus.» in italics after stanza 3. The print sets a thin space before «!», «:» and «;» («See !», «drive :», «see !», «cross !», «heaven ;», «forgiven !»); it is closed up here. The dashes after «flood» and «tide» are the print's. Lines 2 and 4 of each stanza are indented in the print. Spelling, punctuation and capitals are the print's. No meter is printed (the text is C. M., 8.6.8.6).
