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 |
