Cross of Jesus, Cross of Sorrow

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!

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

O mysterious condescending!
O abandonment sublime!
Very God Himself is bearing
All the sufferings of time!

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!
