INFINITE grief! amazing woe!
   Behold my suffering Lord!
Both earth and hell conspired His death,
    According to His Word.
 
2  O, the sharp pangs of smarting pain
    My dear Redeemer bore,
When savage whips and rugged thorns
    His sacred body tore.
 
3  But my own sins, my cruel sins,
    His chief tormentors were;
For every sin became a nail,
    And unbelief the spear.
 
4  ’Twas I that brought such judgement down
    Upon the guiltless One;
Break, then, my heart, and weep my eyes!
    To feel what I have done.
 
5  Come, mighty grace, my stony heart
    Cause now to melt and flow,
Till deep repentance draws me near,
    Thy pardoning voice to know.
 
Isaac Watts, 1674-1748‡
