Stretch'd on the cross, the Saviour dies

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #125 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Stretch'd on the cross, the Saviour dies, Hark! his expiring groans arise! See, from his hands, his feet, his side, Runs down the sacred crimson tide! 2 But life attends the dreadful sound, And flows from every bleeding wound; The vital stream, how free it flows To save and cleanse his rebel foes! 3 To suffer in the traitor's place, To die for man, surprising grace! Yet pass rebellious angels by-- O why for man, dear Saviour, why? 4 And didst thou bleed?--for sinners bleed? And could the sun behold the deed? No! he withdrew his sickening ray, And darkness veil'd the mourning day. 5 Can I survey this scene of wo, Where mingling grief and wonder flow; And yet my heart unmov'd remain, Insensible to love or pain? 6 Come, dearest Lord! thy grace impart, To warm this cold, this stupid heart; Till all its powers and passions move In melting grief and ardent love.
