323. Behold the Saviour of mankind

1 Behold the Saviour of mankind
Nailed to the shameful tree!
How vast the love that him inclined
To die for you and me!

2 Hark! how he groans, while nature shakes,
And earth's strong pillars bend;
The temple's vail in sunder breaks,
The solid marbles rend.

3 'Tis done! the precious ransom's paid!
'Tis done, the Saviour cries;
See where he bows his sacred head;
He bows his head, and dies.
