LyicsJesus drinks the bitter cup,
The winepress treads alone:
Tears the graves and mountains up,
By his expiring groan:
Lo, The powers of heaven he shakes,
Nature in convulsion lies;
Earth's profoundest center quakes,
The great Redeemer dies.
O my God, he dies for me,
I feel the mortal smart!
See him hanging on the tree,
A sight that breaks my heart!
O that all to thee might turn!
Sinners, he may love him too;
Look on him ye pierced, and mourn
For one who bled for you.
