O Christ What Burdens Bowed Thy Head

Описание: Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
O Christ, what burdens bowed Thy head
Our load was laid on Thee
Thou stoodest in the sinner's stead
Didst bear all ill for me
A victim led, Thy blood was shed
Now there's no load for me

[Verse 2]
Death and the curse were in our cup
O Christ, 'twas full for Thee
But Thou hast drained the last dark drop
'Tis empty now for me
That bitter cup, Love drank it up
Now blessings draught for me

[Verse 3]
Jehovah lifted up His rod
O Christ, it fell on Thee
Thou wast sore stricken of Thy God
There's not one stroke for me
Thy tears, Thy blood, beneath it flowed
Thy bruising healeth me

[Verse 4]
The tempest's awful voice was heard
O Christ, it broke on Thee
Thy open bosom was my ward
It braved the storm for me
Thy form was scarred, Thy visage marred
Now cloudless peace for me

[Verse 5]
Jehovah bade His sword awake
O Christ, it woke 'gainst Thee
Thy blood the flaming blade must slake
Thy heart its sheath must be
All for my sake, my peace to make
Now sleeps that sword for me

[Verse 6]
For me, Lord Jesus, Thou hast died
And I have died in Thee
Thou'rt risen, hands are all untied
And now Thou liv'st in me
When purified, made white and tried
Thy glory then for me
