1 Downtrodden Christ, to you we pray who at the third hour of the day were led away and nailed up high in naked shame beneath the sky: Show through the pain that scars your face the love of God, and our disgrace. 2 Uplifted Christ, to you we pray who at the sixth hour of the day took all our guilt upon that tree in darkness, blood, and agony: Look on our pride and unbelief, grant us repentance and relief. 3 Outstretching Christ, to you we pray who at the ninth hour of the day alone dismissed your final breath and opened heaven by your death: Come to our dying world and reign, that we with you may live again.
