11. On Calvary's Cross, Behold the One

L.M.
1
On Calvary’s cross, behold the One
 
Who is God’s Fellow and His Son,
 
Accursèd there upon the tree,
 
He died to set the guilty free.
2
He "knew no sin," yet He must there
 
God’s righteous, holy judgment bear,
 
Must suffer in our guilty stead,
 
And numbered be among the dead.
3
He’s risen now, the work is done,
 
And God has glorified His Son;
 
Has set Him in the highest place,
 
The source of rich, unbounded grace.
4
Then to the Lord for refuge fly,
 
For why, poor sinner, wilt thou die?
 
Why wilt thou still refuse His call?
 
Who seeks to save, who died for all.
