1. God of unexampled grace, | |||
Redeemer of mankind, | |||
Matter of eternal praise | |||
We in thy passion find: | |||
Still our choicest strains we bring, | |||
Still the joyful theme pursue, | |||
Thee the friend of sinners sing | |||
Whose love is ever new. | |||
2. Endless scenes of wonder rise | |||
With that mysterious tree, | |||
Crucified before our eyes | |||
Where we our Maker see: | |||
Jesus, Lord, what hast thou done! | |||
Publish we the death divine, | |||
Stop, and gaze, and fall, and own | |||
Was never love like thine! | |||
3. Never love nor sorrow was | |||
Like that my Jesus showed; | |||
See him stretched on yonder cross | |||
And crushed beneath our load! | |||
Now discern the deity, | |||
Now his heavenly birth declare! | |||
Faith cries out ’Tis he, ’tis he, | |||
My God that suffers there!}} | |||

{{Text|Simple| | |||
4. Jesus drinks the bitter cup; | |||
The wine-press treads alone, | |||
Tears the graves and mountains up | |||
By his expiring groan: | |||
Lo! The powers of heaven he shakes; | |||
Nature in convulsions lies, | |||
Earth’s profoundest center quakes, (a) | |||
The great Jehovah dies! | |||
5. Dies the glorious cause of all, | |||
The true eternal Pan, | |||
Falls to raise us from our fall, | |||
To ransom sinful man: | |||
Well may sol withdraw his light, | |||
With the sufferer sympathize, | |||
Leave the world in sudden night, | |||
While his Creator dies. | |||
6. Well may heaven be clothed with black | |||
And solemn sackcloth wear, | |||
Jesus' agony partake | |||
The hour of darkness share: | |||
Mourn the astonished hosts above, | |||
Silence saddens all the skies, | |||
Kindler of seraphic love | |||
The God of angels dies.}} | |||

7. O my God, he dies for me, | |||
I feel the mortal smart! | |||
See him hanging on the tree — | |||
A sight that breaks my heart! | |||
O that all to thee might turn! | |||
Sinners, ye may love him too, | |||
Look on him ye pierced, and mourn | |||
For one who bled for you. | |||
8. Weep o’er your desire and hope | |||
With tears of humblest love; | |||
Sing, for Jesus is gone up, | |||
And reigns enthroned above! | |||
Lives our head, to die no more: | |||
Power is all to Jesus given, | |||
Worshiped as he was before | |||
Th’ immortal King of heaven. | |||
9. Lord, we bless thee for thy grace, | |||
And truth which never fail, | |||
Hastening to behold thy face | |||
Without a dimming veil: | |||
We shall see our heavenly King, | |||
All thy glorious love proclaim, | |||
Help the angel choirs to sing | |||
Our dear triumphant Lamb.}} | |||
