Lyrics

Verse 1
Stricken, smit­ten, and af­flict­ed, (Isa. 53:4, Isa. 53:7)
See Him dy­ing on the tree! (Acts 5:30, Acts 10:39, Gal. 3:13, I Pet. 2:24)
’Tis the Christ by man re­ject­ed; (Ps. 118:22, Isa. 53:3, Mark 8:31, Luke 17:25)
Yes, my soul, ’tis He, ’tis He!
’Tis the long ex­pect­ed pro­phet, (Deut. 18:15, John 6:14, Acts 3:22)
David’s Son, yet Da­vid’s Lord; (Ps. 110:1, Matt. 22:42-45, Mark 12:35-37, Luke 20:41-44)
Proofs I see suf­fi­cient of it: (Acts 1:3)
’Tis a true and faith­ful Word. (Rev. 19:11-13, Rev. 21:5, Rev. 22:6)

Verse 2
Tell me, ye who hear Him groan­ing, (Ps. 22:1)
Was there ev­er grief like His? (Lam. 1:12)
Friends through fear His cause dis­own­ing, (Matt. 26:56, Matt. 26:74-75, Mark 14:50)
Foes in­sult­ing his dis­tress: (Ps. 22:7-8, Matt. 27:39-43, Luke 23:35-37)
Many hands were raised to wound Him, (Ps. 22:16)
None would in­ter­pose to save; (Ps. 69:20)
But the deep­est stroke that pierced Him
Was the stroke that Jus­tice gave. (Isa. 53:5-6)

Verse 3
Ye who think of sin but light­ly,
Nor sup­pose the ev­il great, (Rom. 7:13)
Here may view its na­ture right­ly,
Here its guilt may es­ti­mate. (Rom. 3:25-26)
Mark the sac­ri­fice ap­point­ed! (I Pet. 1:19-20)
See who bears the aw­ful load! (Isa. 53:6, Isa. 53:11-12, Heb. 9:28, I Pet. 2:24)
’Tis the Word, the Lord’s an­oint­ed, (Ps. 2:2, John 1:1, John 1:14, Acts 4:26-27, Rev. 19:13)
Son of Man, and Son of God.

Verse 4
Here we have a firm foun­da­tion, (Ps. 118:22, Isa. 28:16, Matt. 21:42, Mark 12:10, Luke 20:17, Acts 4:11, I Cor. 3:11, Eph. 2:20, II Tim. 2:19, I Pet. 2:6-7)
Here the re­fuge of the lost.
Christ the rock of our sal­va­tion, (II Sam. 22:47, Ps. 62:6-7, Ps. 89:26, Ps. 95:1, I Cor. 10:4)
Christ the name of which we boast. (Ps. 44:8, I Cor. 1:31)
Lamb of God for sin­ners wound­ed! (Isa. 53:5, Isa. 53:7, John 1:29, I Pet. 1:18-19, Rev. 5:12)
Sacrifice to can­cel guilt! (Eph. 5:2, Col. 2:14, Heb. 9:26, Heb. 10:12, I John 2:2)
None shall ev­er be con­found­ed
Who on Him their hope have built. (Ps. 22:5, Matt. 7:24-25, Rom. 9:33, Rom. 10:11, I Cor. 3:11, I Pet. 2:6)
