Made Sin for Us

Verse 1

Whilst I shall track the depth of love, Which so transparently doth shine, No more in reason's path I rove, To search the mystery divine.

Verse 2

From all that's sensual flies my heart, And enters deep infinity, With spirits blest to bear a part, In one melodious harmony.

Verse 3

Our spreading filth contracted close; Within the compass of a span, Affrights the child from calm repose, To feel the misery of man:

Verse 4

His Life was painful, void of rest, Full or reproach, contempt, and scorn; With weighty griefs and woes opprest, Till all chastisements be had borne.

Verse 5

The more in years he did increase, The more its pressure he did feel, Till time drew near when sin should cease, And he his testament should seal;

Verse 6

Then sin and Satan had the Ssway, To vex, accuse him, and condemn, Whilst God did all his wrath display, To end all sin, and man redeem.
