CCXXVIII. Who is this that comes from far

1 Who is this that comes from far,
Clad in garments dipt in blood!
Strong triumphant traveller,
Is he man, or is he God?

2 "I that speak in righteousness,
"Son of God and man I am,
"Mighty to redeem your race;
"Jesus is your Saviour's name."

3 Wherefore are thy garments red,
Dy'd as in a crimson sea?
They that in the wine-vat tread,
Are not stain'd so much as thee.

4 "I the Father's fav'rite Son,
"Have the dreadful wine[press trod,
"Borne the vengeful wrath alone,
"All the fiercest wrath of God."
