LESSON XIV. Christ's Sufferings and Death

Jesus the righteous! lo, he dies, For sin a spotless sacrifice; Justice has on his sacred head, The weight of our transgressions laid. If God's own Son would sinners save, He must be humbled to the grave; That so a pardoning God might shew, What vengeance to our crimes was due. Cold in the tomb that mournful day, My Saviour's mangled body lay.
