The Psalms of David ‎#LXIXd

LXIXd. CHRIST's Passion, and Sinners Salvation

1 Deep in our hearts let us record
The deeper sorrows of our LORD;
Behold the rising billows roll,
To overwhelm his holy soul.

2 In long complaints he spends his breath,
While hosts of hell, and pow'rs of death,
And all the sons of malice join
To execute their curst design.

3 Yet, gracious GOD, thy pow'r and love
Has made the curse a blessing prove;
Those dreadful suff'rings of thy son
Aton'd for sins which we had done.

4 The pangs of our expiring LORD
The honors of thy law restor'd:
His sorrows made thy justice known,
And paid for follies not his own.

7 O for his sake our guilt forgive,
And let the mourning sinner live;
The Lord will hear us in his name,
Nor shall our hope be turn'd to shame.
