It is my sins for which you, Lord, must languish; yes, all the wrath, the woe, that you inherit, this I do merit. 4 How strange is this great paradox to ponder; the shepherd dies for sheep who love to wander; the master pays the debt his servants owe him, who would not know him. 5 O wondrous love, whose depth no heart hath sounded, that brought you here, by foes and thieves surrounded, conquer my heart, make love its sole endeavor henceforth forever!
