20*. "Stricken, Smitten and Afflicted,"
8,7.
by T. Kelly
"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)
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.
