Sweet Suffering

Most holy godhead so human

Born in a manger to a woman

Every knee bow down in awe 

Universe its savior saw 

Triumphant thy sweet suffering 

Triune God revealed his humanity 

Meeting their noble divinity 

To be the unmoved mover 

Planted in our heart thou sower 

Triumphant thy sweet suffering 

Thy tranquility so radiant 

 Godness thou so obedient 

Cared for the poor and lowly 

Giving hope to everyone slowly 

Triumphant thy sweet suffering

You clutched the humble hearted 

Extreme concern for the hope departed 

You trampled the people of fame

Made them cover with shame 

Triumphant thy sweet sorrow 

Thou liveth a life so shortly

Alluring millions of people briefly 

Suffered a painful ordeal 

Death on a cross so big deal 

Triumphant thy sweet sorrow
