	2 Here the King of all the ages, Throned in light ere worlds could be, Robed in mortal flesh is dying, Crucified by sin for me. 3 O mysterious condescending! O abandonment sublime!	Very God Himself is bearing All the sufferings of time! 4 Evermore for human failure By His passion we can plead; God has borne all mortal anguish, Surely He ■will know our need.

	James S. Simpson, i8S6 175



	2 Here we sit, in wonder, viewing 4 For Thy sorrows we adore Thee, Mercy poured in streams of blood; For the pains that wrought our peace; Precious drops, our souls bedewing, Gracious Saviour, we implore Thee, Make and plead our peace with God. In our hearts Thy love increase.

	3 Truly blessed is the station, Low before His cross to lie, While we see divine compassion Beaming in His gracious eye.	S Here we feel our sins forgiven, While upon the Lamb we gaze; And our thoughts are all of heaven, And our lips o'erflow with praise. James Allen, 1759
