Lyrics
Verse 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!
Verse 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.
Verse 3
O mysterious condescending!
O abandonment sublime!
Very God Himself is bearing
All the sufferings of time!
Verse 4
Ever more for human failure
By His passion we can plead;
God has borne all mortal anguish,
Surely He will know our need.
