| Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that He should be holden of it. (Acts 2:22‑24) |
| I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers. (Acts 3:17) |
Oh cross of Christ! Oh glorious tree!
What place can be compared with thee,
Where God’s own Son was crucified,
And for our sins a ransom died? |
We love to look within the tomb,
Thy death has robbed of all its gloom;
The stone forever rolled away;
Thy death the power of death did slay. |
