"Stricken, smitten and afflicted,"
 
See Him dying on the tree!
 
’Tis the Christ by man rejected!
 
Yes, my soul, ’tis He, ’tis He!
 
Mark the sacrifice appointed!
 
See who bears the awful load!
 
’Tis the Word, ’tis God’s Anointed,
 
Son of Man and Son of God.
“Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.” (Isaiah 53:4)
“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” (1 Peter 2:24)
“He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.” (Isaiah 53:3)
“He came unto his own, and his own received him not.” (John 1:11)
“But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God.” (Hebrews 10:12)

Here we have a firm foundation;
 
Here’s the refuge of the lost;
 
Christ’s the Rock of our salvation — 
 
His the name of which we boast.
 
Lamb of God! for sinners wounded — 
 
Sacrifice to cancel guilt,
 
None shall ever be confounded
 
Who on Thee their hope have built.
“Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.” (1 Peter 2:6)
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.” (Romans 5:5)
“And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.” (1 John 3:5)
