Subject(s): Jesus Christ
Christ placed all rest, and had no resting place;
He healed each pain, yet lived in sore distress,
Deserved all good, yet lived in great disgrace
Gave all hearts joy, himself in heaviness;
Suffered them live, by whom himself was slain;
Lord, who can live to see such love again?
