122. O There's a Sight That Rends My Heart

1 O there’s a sight that rends my heart,
Nor can it from my mind depart,
How Thou on Olivet didst languish;
O Lord, for Thy soul’s agony,
When wrestling there with death for me,
Make me a trophy of Thine anguish.

2 O what an act of majesty!
O what an hallowed hour of blessing!
Here soul and body are supplied,
And we show forth that Jesus died,
When in this feast our Lord confessing.
