He is not here…

Happy Easter!    These are the words to the last stanza of one of my favorite hymns, “O Sacred Head Now Wounded

What language shall I borrow 
To thank thee, dearest friend,
 For this thy dying sorrow, 
Thy pity without end?
O make me thine forever; 
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never 
Outlive my love for thee
