261. The Holy One Who Knew No Sin

C.M.D.
by H.K. Burlingham
1
The holy One who knew no sin,
 
God made Him sin for us;
 
The Savior died our souls to win,
 
Upon the shameful cross.
 
His precious blood alone availed
 
To wash our sins away;
 
Through weakness He o’er hell prevailed,
 
Through death He won the day.
“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures.” (1 Corinthians 15:3)
“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)
2
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,
 
Today and evermore.
