How deep was that which Christ sustained

Verse 1

How deep was that which Christ sustain'd, When in his Soul and Body pain'd, He sigh'd and wept, and roared; From many wounds a second Flood Springs forth, which drowns the World in Blood! By which we are assured, His Pain's Our Gain; For he died Greatly tried, As our Folly; Our Offence there ceases wholly.

Verse 2

From Sin and Sinner's Curse he rose Triumphant over all his Foes, And thus restor'd our Nature; And in that Nature every Child To Godhead fully reconcil'd, Receive'd their Father's Feature: Fully Holy, In his Likeness Are his Brightness; Each begotten Bears his Image who begot him.

Verse 3

Now, through the Saviour's Blood, we prove The Father's Heart and Nature Love, And all our Warfare finish'd; Nor Good, nor Bad, as wrought by Man, Availeth here; nor is this Plan Added to or diminish'd: Our Bliss Is This: Jesus lives us Freely gives us (True the Story) All his Sonship, Fruits and Glory.
