261. The Holy One who knew no sin

1 The Holy One who knew no sin,
God made Him sin for us;
The Saviour died our souls to win,
Upon the shameful cross.
His precious blood alone availed
To wash our sins away;
Through weakness He o'er hell prevailed,
Through death He won the day.

2 His beauty shineth far above
Our feeble pow'r of praise,
And we shall live and learn His love
Through everlasting days,
The knowing this, that us He loves,
Hath made our cup run o'er;
Jesus, Thy name our spirit moves,
To-day and evermore.
