O World, See Here Suspended

Author: Anna Hoppe; Paul Gerhardt, 1606-1676 Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #427 (1930) Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Hymnal Title: American Lutheran Hymnal Lyrics: 1 O world, see here suspended, His loving arms extended, They Savior on the cross! The Prince of life is willing, All righteousness fulfilling, To suffer anguish, scorn and loss. 2 O Thou, who hearts dost quicken, Why art Thou sorrow-stricken, Why all this nameless pain? While we must make confession Of sin and dire transgression, No sin on Thee hath left a stain. 3 'Tis I whom sins encumber, Whose misdeeds far outnumber The sands upon the shore; I caused Thy condemnation, Thy deep humiliation, And all the wounds that pain Thee sore. 4 The burden Thee molesting, The weight upon Thee resting, The heavy load is mine. A curse on Thee is pressing, That I may reap a blessing; Thy pain to me is balm divine. 5 My bondsman ever willing, My place with patience filling, And sharing all my guilt, A crown of thorns Thou wearest, And my disgrace Thou bearest, While saying, Father, as Thou wilt! 6 Death for a time must hold Thee, The grave, too, must enfold Thee, Lest I should be its prey; Death, who for me had tarried, Death now himself lies buried, And I shall live with Thee for aye.
