Cross of Jesus cross of sorrow
Where the blood of Christ was shed
Perfect Man on thee did suffer
Perfect God on thee has bled
2
Here the king of all the ages
Throned in light ere worlds could be
Robed in mortal flesh is dying
Crucified by sin for me
3
O mysterious condescending
O abandonment sublime
Very God Himself is bearing
All the sufferings of time
4
Cross of Jesus cross of sorrow
Where the blood of Christ was shed
Perfect Man on thee did suffer
Perfect God on thee has bled

Cross of Jesus cross of sorrow
Where the blood of Christ was shed
Perfect Man on thee did suffer
Perfect God on thee has bled

Here the king of all the ages
Throned in light ere worlds could be
Robed in mortal flesh is dying
Crucified by sin for me
3
O mysterious condescending
O abandonment sublime
Very God Himself is bearing
All the sufferings of time
4
Evermore for human failure
By His passion we can plead
God has born all mortal anguish
Surely He will know our need
5
This all human thought surpassing
This is earth’s most awful hour
God has taken mortal weakness
God has laid aside His power
6
Once the Lord of brilliant seraphs
Winged with love to do His will
Now the scorn of all His creatures
And the aim of every ill
7
Up in Heaven sublimest glory
Circled round Him from the first
But the earth finds none to serve Him
None to quench His raging thirst
8
Who shall fathom that descending
From the rainbow circled throne
Down to earth’s most base profaning
Dying desolate alone
9
From the Holy Holy Holy
We adore Thee O most High
Down to earth’s blaspheming voices
And the shout of Crucify
10
Cross of Jesus cross of sorrow
Where the blood of Christ was shed
Perfect Man on thee did suffer
Perfect God on thee has bled
