120. O Thou Who Didst Thy Glory Leave

8,8,6.

1
O Thou who didst Thy glory leave,
 
Apostate sinners to retrieve
 
From nature’s deadly fall!
 
Thou, Thou hast bought us with a price,
 
Our sins against us ne’er can rise,
 
For Thou hast borne them all.
“Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.” (Isaiah 53:12)
2
See Him for our transgressions given;
 
See the blest Lamb of God from heaven,
 
For us, His foes, expire;
 
Rejoice! rejoice! the tidings hear!
 
He bore, that we might never bear,
 
Th’ Almighty’s righteous ire.
“But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)
“For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.” (John 6:38)
“For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:10)
“And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.” (Luke 23:46)

Ye saints, "the Man of sorrows" bless,
 
The Lord, for your unrighteousness
 
Deputed to atone;
 
Praise, till with all the ransomed throng
 
Ye sing the never-ending song,
 
And sit upon His throne!
