Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #CLXXVI (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Come, see on bloody Calvary Lyrics: 1 Come see on bloody Calvary,
Suspended on the accursed tree,
A wretched suff'rer cover'd o'er
With shame, and weltering in his gore.
2 Is this the Saviour long foretold
To usher in the age of gold?
To make the reign of sorrow cease,
And bind the jarring world in peace?
3 'Tis he, 'tis he,—he kindly shrouds
His glories in a night of clouds,
That souls might from their ruin rise,
And heir th' unperishable skies.
4 Jesus, what millions of our race
Have been the triumphs of thy grace,
And millions more to thee shall fly,
And on thy sacrifice rely?
5 That tree, that curse-empoison'd tree,
Which prov'd a bloody rack to thee,
Shall in the noblest blessings shoot,
And fill the nations with its fruit.
6 The sorrow, shame, and death were thine,
And all the stores of wrath divine;
Ours are the glory, life, and bliss:
What love can be compar'd to this. Topics: Lord's Supper Languages: English
