My Crucified Savior, Despised and Contemned

Verse 1

My crucified Saviour, despised and contemned, Thou innocent Victim for sinners condemned, Thy garments are blood-stained, Thy spirit doth groan, In agony prostrate, Thou suff'rest alone.

Verse 2

Thou weepest and moanest in conflict and prayer, And writhest in agony, pain and despair; In thirty years' anguish our path Thou has trod, And diest at last to redeem us to God.

Verse 3

Our Saviour thus finished God's plan with our race, And laid the foundation for pardon and grace, And then rose triumphant, the conquering Lord, Appeased the Creator and mankind restored.

Verse 4

Restored to the bliss that was lost in the fall, Yea, greater, for Jesus prepared for us all Eternal salvation and mansions above; Come, poor, burdened sinners, rejoice in His love.

Verse 5

Yea come, trembling sinner, come just as thou art, Thy cares and thy sorrows to Jesus impart; In Him seek salvation from death and the grave, For Jesus is willing and might to save. Amen.
