|
| 1 | Lord, e'en to death Thy love could go, | Philippians 2:5-8; 1 Corinthians 15:25-26; Hebrews 2:14; Matthew 12:29 |
| A death of shame and loss, |
| To vanquish for us every foe, |
| And break the strong man's force. |
|
| 2 | Oh! what a load was Thine to bear | 1 Peter 2:24; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Isaiah 63:3; Psalm 22:1 |
| Alone in that dark hour, |
| Our sins in all their terror there, |
| God's wrath and Satan's power. |
|
| 3 | The storm that bowed Thy blessèd head | John 19:30; Matthew 11:28; Hebrews 2:7,9 |
| Is hushed forever now, |
| And rest divine is ours instead, |
| Whilst glory crowns Thy brow. |
|
| 4 | Within the Father's house on high | John 14:2; Revelation 5:9 |
| We soon shall sing Thy praise, |
| But here, where Thou didst bleed and die, |
| We learn that song to raise. |
