71*. Oh, My Savior Crucified
7s.
by R.C. Chapman
Near Thy cross would I abide,
Jesus bruised and put to shame,
Tells the glories of God’s name;
Holy judgment there I found,
Grace did there o’er sin abound.
God is love I surely know,
In the Savior’s depth of woe;
In the Sinless, in God’s sight,
Sin is justly brought to light.
In His spotless soul’s distress,
I have learnt my guiltiness;
Oh, how vile my low estate,
Since my ransom was so great.
“Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.” (Matthew 26:38-39)
“Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” (1 Timothy 2:6)
Rent the veil that closed the way
To my home of heavenly day,
In the flesh of Christ the Lord,
“And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent.” (Matthew 27:51)
“By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh.” (Hebrews 10:20)
Contrite should my spirit be,
Rest and holiness there find,
Fashioned like my Savior’s mind.
“Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” (Matthew 11:28-29)
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 2:5)
