Hymnal: The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal #138 (1999) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Cross of Jesus, Cross of Sorrow,
Where the blood of Christ was shed,
Perfect man on thee was tortured,
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 mysterious condescending!
O abandonment sublime!
Very God Himself is bearing
All the sufferings of time!
4 Evermore for human failure
By His Passion we can plead;
God has borne all mortal anguish,
Surely He will know our need.
