Would he devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I have done, 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While his dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay 4 He took the dying traitor's place, And suffer'd in his stead; For sinful man-0 wondrous grace!— For sinful man he bled. 5 O Lord, what heavenly wonders dwell In thine atoning blood! By this are sinners saved from hell, 406 Pleading His gracious name. 92-b. 2 Thy promise is my only plea; 3 Bow'd down beneath a load of sin, By wars without, and fears within, 4 Be thou my shield and hiding-place; That, shelter'd near thy side, I may rejoice in Jesus' grace,— In Jesus crucified.
