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.
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 blessing's draught for me.
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.
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.
For me, Lord Jesus, Thou hast died, And I have died in Thee: Thou art ris'n— my bands are all un-tied, And now Thou liv'st in me: When purified, made white, and tried, Thy glory then for me!
