Jesus Carries His Cross
Because by Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scouraged. And the soldiers wove a crown out of throns and placed it on his head, and clothed him in a purple cloak, and they came to him and said, "Hail, King of the Jews!" So Jesus came out, wearng the crown of thorns and the purple cloak. And Pilate said to them, "Behold, the man!" When the chief priests and the guards saw him they cried out," Crucify him! (John 19:1-6).
My Jesus, this Cross should be mine, not thine; my sins crucified Thee.
O, how sad and sore distressed
Was that Mother highly blessed
Of the sole Begotten One.
