Oh, the pangs his soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss, Learn of him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb; There, adoring at his feet, Mark that miracle of time-- God's own sacrifice complete; It is finished, hear him cry, Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid his lifeless clay; All is solitude and gloom-- Who hath taken him away? Christ hath risen--he meets our eyes; Saviour, teach us so to rise. Topics: Christ Life, Office, and Example; Christ an Example in Suffering
