261. The Holy One Who Knew No Sin
C.M.D.
by H.K. Burlingham
The holy One who knew no sin,
The Savior died our souls to win,
His precious blood alone availed
Through weakness He o’er hell prevailed,
Through death He won the day.
“And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” (Philippians 2:8)
“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:2)
“For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.” (2 Corinthians 13:4)
“But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.” (1 Peter 1:19)
His beauty shineth far above
Our feeble power of praise;
And we shall live and learn His love
Through everlasting days.
The knowing this, that us He loves,
Hath made our cup run o’er;
Jesus, Thy name our spirit moves,
