Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 1991 #154 (1991) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: A purple robe, a crown of thorn Lyrics: 1. A purple robe, a crown of thorn,
A reed in His right hand;
Before the soldiers' spite and scorn
I see my Savior stand.
2. He bears between the Roman guard
The weight of all our woe;
A stumbling figure bowed and scarred
I see my Savior go.
3. Fast to the cross's spreading span,
High in the sunlit air,
All the un-numbered sins of man
I see my Savior bear.
4. He hangs, by whom the world was made,
Beneath the darkened sky;
The everlasting ransom paid,
I see my Savior die.
5. He shares on high His Father's throne,
Who once in mercy came;
For all His love to sinners shown
I sing my Savior's name. Scripture: John 19:2 Languages: English Tune Title: SERENITY
