EN 5060 Blest Jesus, When Thy Cross I View

Gal.6.14

Versi Version 1

1

Blest Jesus, when Thy cross I view,

That mystery to th’angelic host,

I gaze with grief and rapture, too,

And all my soul’s in wonder lost.

2

What strange compassion filled Thy breast,

That brought Thee from Thy throne on high,

To woes that cannot be expressed,

To be despised, to groan and die!

3

For man didst Thou forsake the sky,

To bleed upon the accursed tree?

And didst Thou taste of death, to buy

Immortal life and bliss for me?

4

Had I a voice to praise Thy Name,

Loud as the trump that wakes the dead,

Had I the raptured seraph’s flame,

My debt of love could ne’er be paid.

5

Yet Lord, a sinner’s heart receive,

This burdened, contrite heart of mine;

Thou knowest I’ve naught beside to give;

And let it be for ever Thine.
