'Twas for thy sake, eternal God

Hymnal: Dr. Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #151 (1790) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 'Twas for thy sake, eternal God, Thy son sustained that heavy load Of base reproach and sore disgrace, And shame defil'd his sacred face. 2 The Jews, his brethren and his kin, Abus'd the man that check'd their sin: While he fulfill'd thy holy laws, They hate him, but without a cause. 3 ['My Father's house, (said he) was made 'A place for worship, not for trade;' Then scatt'ring all their gold and brass He scourg'd the merchants from the place. 4 Zeal for the temple of his God Consum'd his life, expos'd his blood: Reproaches at thy glory thrown He felt, and mourn'd them as his own.] 5 [His friends forsook, his follow'rs fled, While foes and arms surround his head; They curse him with a sland'rous tongue, And the false judge maintains the wrong.] 6 His life they load with hateful lies, And charge his lips with blasphemies: They nail him to the shameful tree; There hung the man that dy'd for me. 7 [Wretches, with hearts as hard as stones Insult his piety and groans; Gall was the food they gave him there, And mocked his thirst with vinegar.] 8 But God beheld, and from his throne Marks out the men that hate his Son; The hand that rais'd him from the dead, Shall pour the vengeance on their head.
