Thou hast known My reproach, and My shame, and My dishonor: Mine adversaries are all before Thee. They gave Me also gall for My meat; and in My thirst they gave Me vinegar to drink. (Psa. 69:19,21) |
The people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided Him, saying, He saved others; let Him save Himself, if He be Christ, the chosen of God. And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming to Him, and offering Him vinegar. (Luke 23:35‑36) |
Gazing on the Lord in glory, While our hearts in worship bow, There we read the wondrous story Of the cross — its shame and woe. |
Gazing on it we adore Thee, Blessed, precious, holy Lord; Thou, the Lamb, alone art worthy: This be earth’s and heaven’s accord. |
