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 myster'ous 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! Used With Tune: CROSS OF JESUS
Cross of Jesus, Cross of Sorrow
