Lyics

Near the cross our station taking,

Earthly cares and joys forsaking,

Meet it is for us to mourn;

'Twas for us he came from heaven,

'Twas for us his heart was riven;

All his griefs for us were borne.



When no eye its pity gave us, 

When there was no arm to save us,

He is love and power displayed;

By his stripes our help and healing,

By his death our life revealing,

He for us the ransom paid.

 

Jesus, may thy love constrain us,

That from sin we may refrain us,

In thy griefs may deeply grieve;

Thee our best affections giving,

To thy praise and honor living,

May we in thy glory live.
