BITTEN by the fiery serpents
Many dying lay
But the Lord, who loved the people,
Then did say:
“Make a brazen fiery serpent,
Put it on a pole;
Whosoever looketh on it
Shall be whole.”
We, by sin and Satan wounded,
Helplessly did lie;
But the Son of God from heaven
Came to die.
Lifted up in pain and anguish,
He was crucified―
Jesus bore the sinner's judgment
When He died.
Now exalted high in heaven
Ready to forgive,
Whosoever trusteth in Him
Then shall live.
