Author: William John Sparrow-Simpson, 1859-1952 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #152 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Cross of Jesus, cross of sorrow,
where the blood of Christ was shed,
perfect Man on thee did suffer,
perfect God on thee has bled!
2 Here the King of all the ages,
throned in light ere worlds could be,
robed in mortal flesh is dying,
crucified by sin for me.
3 O mysterious condescending!
O abandonment sublime!
Very God Himself is bearing
all the sufferings of time!
4 Cross of Jesus, cross of sorrow,
where the blood of Christ was shed,
perfect Man on thee did suffer,
perfect God on thee has bled! Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Good Friday Languages: English Tune Title: CROSS OF JESUS
