Lord, we treasure with affection,
All Thy path of sorrow here,
And those closing scenes
of anguish
To our hearts Thyself endear.
Deep Thy sorrow then,
Lord Jesus,
Deeper far than thought can reach,
Grief intense and sufferings holy,
Far beyond all tongues to teach.
None could follow there,
blest Saviour,
When Thou didst for sins atone;
For those sufferings,
deep, unfathomed,
Were, Lord Jesus, Thine alone.
Thou didst measure then
sin's distance;
Darkness, wrath
and curse were Thine;
Man-betrayed, by God forsaken;
Thus we learn Thy love divine.
