CCXXVIII. Who is this that comes from far

1 Who is this that comes from far,
Clad in garments dipt in blood!
Strong triumphant traveller,
Is he man, or is he God?

2 I that speak in righteousness,
Son of God and man I am,
Mighty to redeem your race;
Jesus is your Saviour's name.

3 Wherefore are thy garments red,
Dyed as in a crimson sea?
They that in the wine-vat tread,
Are not stain'd so much as thee.

4 I the Father's fav'rite Son,
Have the dreadful wine-press trod,
Borne the vengeful wrath alone,
All the fiercest wrath of God.
