First Line: Waking I look to jesus on the rood
Last Line: Upon his blessed tree.
Subject(s): Jesus Christ = Suffering & Sacrifice
Waking I look to Jesus on the Rood
And thank him that the ghostly night is gone;
Until my soul had seen the Holy Cross
I never knew the dawn.
All colors were as darkness save the hues
That even our dull bodily eyes can see,
But now is God grown fair beyond the East
Upon His blessed tree.
