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.
“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)
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,
