::::''1.''
:Cross of Jesus, cross of sorrow,
:Where the blood of Christ was shed,
:Perfect Man on thee did suffer,
:Perfect God on thee has bled!
 
 
::::''2.''
:Here the King of all the ages,
:Throned in light ere worlds could be,
:Robed in mortal flesh is dying,
:Crucified by sin for me.
 
 
::::''3.''
:O mysterious condescending!
:O abandonment sublime!
:Very God Himself is bearing
:All the sufferings of time!
 
 
::::''4.''
:Evermore for human failure
:By His passion we can plead;
:God has born all mortal anguish,
:Surely He will know our need.
 
 
::::''5.''
:This—all human thought surpassing—
:This is earth’s most awful hour,
:God has taken mortal weakness!
:God has laid aside His Power!
 
 
::::''6.''
:Once the Lord of brilliant seraphs,
:Winged with love to do His will,
:Now the scorn of all His creatures,
:And the aim of every ill.
 
 
::::''7.''
:Up in Heaven, sublimest glory
:Circled round Him from the first;
:But the earth finds none to serve Him,
:None to quench His raging thirst.
 
 
::::''8.''
:Who shall fathom that descending,
:From the rainbow circled throne,
:Down to earth’s most base profaning,
:Dying desolate alone.
 
 
::::''9.''
:From the “Holy, Holy, Holy,
:We adore Thee, O most High,”
:Down to earth’s blaspheming voices
:And the shout of “Crucify.”
