How willing was Jesus to die

Author: Swain Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Sufferings, Death, and Cross of Christ Lyrics: 1 How willing was Jesus to die, That we fellow-sinners might live! The life they could not take away, How ready was Jesus to give! They piercèd his hands and his feet; His hands and his feet he resigned; The pangs of his body were great, But greater the pangs of his mind. 2 That wrath would have kindled a hell Of never-abating despair, In millions of creatures, which fell On Jesus, and spent itself there. ’Twas justice that burst in a blaze Of vengeance on Jesus, our Head; Divinity’s indwelling rays Sustained him till nature was dead. 3 Divinity back to his frame The life he had yielded restored, And Jesus entombed was the same With Jesus in glory adored. No nearer we venture than this, To gaze on a deep so profound, But tread, whilst we taste of the bliss, With reverence the hallowed ground. Scripture: Luke 22:44
