Hymn

Christ's Passion, and Sinners Salvation

Metre 8.8.8.8.

Deep in our hearts let us record

The deeper sorrows of our Lord:

Behold the rising billows roll,

To overwhelm his holy soul!

Yet, gracious God, thy power and love

Have made the curse a blessing prove:

Those dreadful sufferings of thy Son

Atoned for crimes which we had done.

Oh, for his sake, our guilt forgive,

And let the mourning sinner live!

The Lord will hear us in his name,

Nor shall our hope be turned to shame.
