LyicsNEAR 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 His love and pow'r display'd;
By His stripes our help and healing,
By His death our life revealing,
He for us the ransom paid.
