HYMN LXIII. Christ Crucified
by Anonymous
O LOVE divine, what hast thou done? Th' immortal God hath dy'd for me, The Father's co-eternal Son, Bore all my fins upon the Tree: Th' immortal God for me hath dy'd, My Lord, my Love is crucify'd.
Behold Him all ye that pass by, The bleeding Prince of Life and Peace; Come see, ye Worms, your Maker die, And say was ever Love like his: Come feel with me his Blood apply'd, My Lord my Love is crucify'd,
Is crucify'd for me and you, To bring us Rebels back to God; Believe, believe the Record true, We are all bought with Jesu's Blood; Pardon and Life flew from his side. My Lord, my Love is crucify'd.
Then let us sit beneath his Cross, And gladly catch the healing stream; All Things for him account but Loss. And give up all our Hearts to him: Of nothing speak, or think beside, But Jesus and him crucify'd.
