O wonder amazing! At earth's midnight hour The ages are gazing in awe at its power; The great secret telling, how anguish is stilled, The evil dispelling: The Word is fulfilled. O hearts that have carried your sorrows untold, The Helper that tarried come here and behold! What prophets have spoken the trial ensures, By tortures unbroken 'tis love that endures. O love, ceasing never, from thee what can part? What height or depth sever from thy bleeding heart? Now opens the portal, O blest Jesu mine! Of mansions immortal, of mercy divine.
