Behold The Saviour Of Mankind
Nailed To The Shameful Tree!
How Vast The Love That Him Inclined
To Bleed And Die For Me!
Hark! How He Groans, While Nature Shakes,
And Earth’s Strong Pillars Bend!
The Temple’s Vail Asunder Breaks,
The Solid Marbles Rend.
’Tis Finished! Now The Ransom’s Paid,
“Receive My Soul!” He Cries:
See—How He Bows His Sacred Head!
He Bows His Head And Dies!
But Soon From Death He’ll Rise Again,
And In Full Glory Shine;
O Lamb Of God! Was Ever Pain
Was Ever Love Like Thine?
