HYMN 15. Second Part. L.M.
He was crucified. (cont.)
4 |
His streaming feet transfix'd and torn,
The fountain gushing from his side.
|
5 |
Thou dear, thou suff'ring Son of God,
How doth thy heart to sinners move!
Sprinkle on us thy precious blood,
Constrain us with thy dying love!
|
HYMN 15. Third Part. L.M.
It is Christ that died.
1 |
SINNERS rejoice, 'tis Christ that died:
Behold the blood flows from his side!
To wash your souls, and raise you high,
To dwell with God above the sky.
|
2 |
'Tis Christ that died, O love divine!
Here mercy, truth, and justice shine;
God reconcii'd and sinners bought
With Jesus' blood — how sweet the thought!
|
3 |
'Tis Christ that died, a truth indeed,
On which my faith would ever feed:
Nor let the works that I perform
Be nam'd, to swell a haughty worm.
|
4 |
'Tis Christ that died, 'tis Christ was slain,
To save my soul from endless pain;
'Tis Christ that died shall be my theme,
While I have breath to praise his name,
|
HYMN 16. First Part. L.M.
Christ must die to satisfy for our sins.
1 |
IMMORTAL God, on thee we call,
The great original of all;
Thro' thee we are, to thee we tend,
Our sure support, our glorious end.
|
2 |
We praise that wise mysterious grace,
That pitied our revolted race,
And Jesus, our great cov'nant-head,
The captain of salvation made.

HYMN 16. First Part. L.M.
Christ must die to satisfy for our sins. (cont.)
3 |
Thy justice doom'd that he must die,
Who for our sins would satisfy:
His death was therefore fix'd of old,
And in thy word of truth foretold.
|
4 |
A scene of wonders here we see,
Worthy thy Son, and worthy thee;
And while this theme employs our tongues,
All heav'n unites its sweetest songs.
|
HYMN 16. Second Part. L.M.
Behold the Lamb of God.
1 |
BEHOLD the sin-atoning Lamb,
With wonder, gratitude, and love!
To take away our guilt and shame,
See him descending from above.
|
2 |
Our sins and griefs on him were laid;
He meekly bore the mighty load:
Our ransom-price he fully paid,
In groans and tears, in sweat and blood.
|
3 |
To save his guilty church, he dies;
Mourners behold the bleeding Lamb!
To him lift up your longing eyes,
And hope for mercy in his name.
|
4 |
Pardon and peace thro' him abound;
He can the richest blessings give:
Salvation in his name is found;
He bids the dying sinner live.
|
5 |
Jesus my Lord, I look to thee;
Where else can helpless sinners go?
Thy boundless love shall set me free
From all my wretchedness and woe.
|
HYMN 16. Third Part. C.M.
Christ sustained the pains of hell.
1 |
And did the holy and the just,
The Sov'reign of the skies,
