Author: William J. Sparrow-Simpson Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 2008 #257 (2008) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Cross of Jesus, cross of sorrow,
Where the blood of Christ was shed,
Perfect Man on thee did suffer,
Perfect God on thee has bled!
2 Here the King of all the ages,
Throned in light ere worlds could be,
Robed in mortal flesh is dying,
Crucified by sin for me.
3 O myster'ous condescending!
O abandonment sublime!
Very God Himself is bearing
All the sufferings of time!
4 Cross of Jesus, cross of sorrow,
Where the blood of Christ was shed,
Perfect Man on thee did suffer,
Perfect God on thee has bled! Topics: Jesus, Blood; Redemption, Salvation, Atonement Languages: English Tune Title: CROSS OF JESUS
