"… the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me,"

Gal.2.20

Bearing His cross, He goes

Thronged by His many foes

To dark Golgotha, for so is God's will.

Thorns wreathe His precious head,

The Lamb to slaughter led,

Saviour of sinners, ascending yon hill.

Nailed are His hands and feet

And in the burning heat,

Behold Him suffering, God's only Son.

Sinners upon Him stare

'Tis love beyond compare,

There to remain till the work is all done.

Darkness descending,

Holiness unbending,

Full is the cup that my Saviour must drink.

Silent, the angels' praise

As in His sore amaze,

He in the depths of the mire doth sink.

Sin's fearful magnitude,

Sorrow and solitude,

Jesus alone bears my curse on the tree.

He, as my Substitute

Forsaken and destitute,

Suffers for sins that were committed by me.

Judgments increasing,

Relentless, unceasing,

Bruised by Jehovah, instead of me.

Vengeance is falling,

Deep unto deep calling,

Sinless, He bears all my sins on the tree.

Vict'ry at last complete,

Final His foes' defeat,

"Finished" with conquering voice He doth cry.

Sin's fearful debt is paid,

Bowed now His holy head,

Almighty in weakness, behold Him die.

Him in the tomb they lay

Till the appointed day

When God, His Son from the dead brings again.

Now filling Heaven's throne

His worth we gladly own,

Ever and ever this Jesus shall reign.

R. Reynolds (Bleary)
