LyicsWho is this that comes from far,
Clad in garments dipp'd in blood,
Strong, triumphant traveller?
Is he man, or is he God?
"I that speak in righteousness,
Son of God and man I am,
Mighty to redeem your race:
Jesus is your Saviour's name."
Wherefore are thy garments red,
Dyed as in a crimson sea?
They that in a winevat tread
Are not stain'd so much as thee.
"I, the Father's favorite Son,
Have the dreadful winepress trod,
Borne the vengeful rod alone,
All the fiercest wrath of God."
