Christ's sufferings and exaltation

Hymnal: PCSC1791 #49b (1791) First Line: Now let our mournful songs record Lyrics: 1 Now let our mournful songs record The dying sorrows of our Lord, When he complain'd in tears and blood, As one forsaken of his God. 2 The Jews behold him thus forlorn, And shake their heads and laugh in scorn; "He rescued others from the grave; "Now let him try himself to save. 3 "This is the man did once pretend "God was his father and his friend; "If God the blessed lov'd him so, "Why doth he fail to help him now? 4 Oh savage people! cruel priests! How they stood round like raging beasts; Like lions gaping to devour, When God had left him in their pow'r. 5 They wound his head, his hands, his feet, Till streams of blood each other meet; By lot his garments they divide, And mock the pangs in which he died. 6 But God his father heard his cry; Rais'd from the dead he reigns on high; The nations learn his righteousness, And humble sinners taste his grace. Scripture: Psalm 22 Languages: English

[7 How I rejoice, when on my head Thy Spirit condescends to rest!
