The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns ‎#XL

XL. Resting under the Cross

1 Children of Israel see what Shade,
The Cross does us afford;
It was for weary Trav'llers made,
We thank thee for it, Lord.

2 Here let us fit, and all prepare
To sing his worthy Fame;
Who to redeem us sojourn'd here,
Christ Jesus is his Name.

3 We sing thy Suff'rings, Wounds and Blood,
The Virtue of thy Pain:
We sing thy Griefs, thou Son of God,
Thou Lamb for Sinners slain.

4 We hail thee, thou by Jews revil'd,
To thee we bow the Knees;
Hail! very God, the promis'd Child,
The Prophets sang of thee.

5 While others praise an unknown God,
We each will sing of thee;
"Jesus has wash'd me in his Blood,
And liv'd, and dy'd for me.
