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
♪
Hear 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
♪
Evermore for human failure
By His passion we can plead
God has borne all mortal anguish
Surely He will know our need
