I cannot tell why he, whom angels worship

Author: William Young Fullerton, 1857-1932 Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 34 hymnals Scripture: Mark 15:24 Lyrics: 1 I cannot tell why he, whom angels worship, should set his love upon the sons of men, or why, as Shepherd, he should seek the wanderers, to bring them back, they know not how or when. But this I know, that he was born of Mary when Bethl'em's manger was his only home, and that he lived at Nazareth and laboured, and so the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is come. 2 I cannot tell how silently he suffered, as with his peace he graced this place of tears, or how his heart upon the cross was broken, the crown of pain to three and thirty years. But this I know, he heals the broken-hearted and stays our sin and calms our lurking fear and lifts the burden from the heavy laden; for still the Saviour, Saviour of the world is here. 3 I cannot tell how he will win the nations, how he will claim his earthly heritage, how satisfy the needs and aspirations of east and west, of sinner and of sage. But this I know, all flesh shall see his glory, and he shall reap the harvest he has sown, and some glad day his sun will shine in splendour when he the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is known. 4 I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship, when at his bidding every storm is stilled, or who can say how great the jubilation when every heart with love and joy is filled. But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture, and myriad myriad human voices sing, and earth to heav'n, and heav'n to earth, will answer, 'at last the Saviour, Saviour of the world, is King!'

While to his heav'nly Father's Ear he sends perpetual Cries. 3 "Hear me, O Lord, and save thy Son, "nor hide thy shining Face; "Why should thy Favourite look like one "forsaken of thy Grace? 4 "With Rage they persecute the Man "that groans Beneath thy Wound, "While for a Sacrifice I pour "my Life upon the Ground. 5 "They tread my Honour to the Dust, "and laugh when I complain; "Their sharp insulting Slanders add "fresh Anguish to my Pain. 6 "All my Reproach is known to Thee, "the Scandal and the Shame; "Reproach has broke my bleeding Heart, "and Lies defil'd my Name. 7 "I lookt for Pity, but in vain; "my Kindred are my Grief: "I ask my Friends for Comfort round, "but meet with no Relief. 8 "With Vinegar they mock my Thirst, "they give me Gall for Food; "And sporting with my dying Groans, "they triumph in my Blood. 9 "Shine into my distressed Soul, "let thy Compassion save; "And tho' my Flesh sink down to Death, "redeem it from the Grave. 10 "I shall arise to praise thy Name, "shall reign in Worlds unknown; "And thy Salvation, O my God, "shall seat me on thy Throne.

Of what great crime have you to make confession-- what dark transgression? 2 They crown your head with thorns, they smite, they scourge you; with cruel mockings to the cross they urge you; they give you gall to drink, they still decry you; they crucify you. 3 What is the source of all your mortal anguish? It is my sins for which you, Lord, must languish; yes, all the wrath, the woe, that you inherit, this I do merit. 4 How strange is this great paradox to ponder; the shepherd dies for sheep who love to wander; the master pays the debt his servants owe him, who would not know him. 5 O wondrous love, whose depth no heart hath sounded, that brought you here, by foes and thieves surrounded, conquer my heart, make love its sole endeavor henceforth forever!

Oh, His heart was broken, suffering there alone; Broken then that mortals ne’er need cry in vain For God’s love and comfort, in the hour of pain.
