Verse 1
Justice none could He obtain
In his humble state beneath,
No humanity from man,
No relief—but pain and death,
Took from earth, He of our sins
Doth the chastisement receive,
Endless life’s immortal Prince
Dies, that all mankind may live.
Verse 2
Who can count his worshippers,
Offspring of the slaughter’d Lamb?
Only He that tells the stars,
He that calls them each by name
Written in thy book above
All thy saints are known to Thee:
God of unexhausted love,
Find with them a place for me!
