The deeper sorrows of our Lord,
Behold the rising billows roll,
To overwhelm his holy soul.
2 In loud complaints he spends his breath,
While hosts of hell and powers of death,
And all the sons of malice join
To execute their cursed design.
3 Yet, gracious God! thy power and love
Have made the curse a blessing prove!
Those dreadful sufferings of thy Son
Atoned for sins which we had done.
4 The pangs of our expiring Lord,
The honours of thy law restored;
His sorrows made thy justice known,
And paid for follies not his own.
5 O for his sake our guilt forgive,
And let the mourning sinner live.
The Lord will hear us in his name,
Nor shall our hope be turned to shame.
