| ::::''1.''
| |
| :Cross of Jesus, cross of sorrow,
| |
| :Where the blood of Christ was shed,
| |
| :Perfect Man on thee did suffer,
| |
| :Perfect God on thee has bled!
| |
| | |
| | |
| ::::''2.''
| |
| :Here the King of all the ages,
| |
| :Throned in light ere worlds could be,
| |
| :Robed in mortal flesh is dying,
| |
| :Crucified by sin for me.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ::::''3.''
| |
| :O mysterious condescending!
| |
| :O abandonment sublime!
| |
| :Very God Himself is bearing
| |
| :All the sufferings of time!
| |
| | |
| | |
| ::::''4.''
| |
| :Evermore for human failure
| |
| :By His passion we can plead;
| |
| :God has born all mortal anguish,
| |
| :Surely He will know our need.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ::::''5.''
| |
| :This—all human thought surpassing—
| |
| :This is earth’s most awful hour,
| |
| :God has taken mortal weakness!
| |
| :God has laid aside His Power!
| |
| | |
| | |
| ::::''6.''
| |
| :Once the Lord of brilliant seraphs,
| |
| :Winged with love to do His will,
| |
| :Now the scorn of all His creatures,
| |
| :And the aim of every ill.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ::::''7.''
| |
| :Up in Heaven, sublimest glory
| |
| :Circled round Him from the first;
| |
| :But the earth finds none to serve Him,
| |
| :None to quench His raging thirst.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ::::''8.''
| |
| :Who shall fathom that descending,
| |
| :From the rainbow circled throne,
| |
| :Down to earth’s most base profaning,
| |
| :Dying desolate alone.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ::::''9.''
| |
| :From the “Holy, Holy, Holy,
| |
| :We adore Thee, O most High,”
| |
| :Down to earth’s blaspheming voices
| |
| :And the shout of “Crucify.”
| |
| | |
| | |
| ::::''10.''
| |
| :Cross of Jesus, cross of sorrow,
| |
| :Where the blood of Christ was shed,
| |
| :Perfect Man on thee did suffer,
| |
| :Perfect God on thee has bled!
