Upon the Cross Extended

Upon the cross extended, see, world, you Lord suspended
 Your Savior yields His breath
The Prince of Life from heaven, Himself has freely given
 To shame and blows and bitter death

I caused Your grief and sighing, by evils multiplying
 As countless as the sand
I caused the woes unnumbered, with which Your soul is cumbered
 You sorrows raised by wicked hands
