The Lutheran Hymnary ‎#316

316. Stricken, smitten, and afflicted

1 Stricken, smitten, and afflicted,
See Him dying on the tree!
'Tis the Christ by man rejected;
Yes, my soul, 'tis He, 'tis He!

2 Mark the sacrifice appointed!
See who bears the awful load;
'Tis the Word,the Lord's Anointed,
Son of Man, and Son of God!

3 Here we have a firm foundation;
Here the refuge of the lost;
Christ's the Rock of our salvation:
His the name of which we boast.

4 Lamb of God for sinners wounded!
Sacrifice to cancel guilt!
None shall ever be confounded
Who on Him their hope have built.
