I did not hide my face from insults and spitting

The tears of Mary, of the disciples
in his Passion, his suffering
the king facing humiliation
He did not turn, Christ did not call on angels
he did not hide his face from the insults and spitting
the Sanhedrin, the Roman guards, even the common people
our Savior suffering, as a lowly slave
He did not turn, he did not falter
not a word, not a disciple
none did he lose
